NRA {UAH} TWIST NOT THE LAW: Gen Elly Tumwine Petitions Parliament to Have Pius Bigirimaana Dropped Over OPM

NRA,

Twist of historical facts: The wave of banditry (terrorism) NRA started at Kabamba did not oust the Obote government. By 1985, NRA was on the run and Museveni officially on the run, in exile. Amplifying weather bitten men into artificial 'heroes'...

True, Obote was overthrown in a conspiracy involving NRA,DP, 3 capricious UPCmen using the Okellos. Ugandans, believe correctly.

DROP THIS MAN: Gen. Tumwine (R) wants Bigirimaana fired and tried

Gen Elly Tumwine, the first NRA rebel to shoot a bullet at Kabamba barracks that signalled the beginning of the war that ousted Obote and one of the topmost UPDF officials, has  petitioned Parliament demanding that Gender Ministry PS Pius Bigirimaana be dropped over Ushs50bn that got 'missing' under his nose at the Office of the Prime Minister.

The highly regarded Tumwine, who even lost his eye in the war, has been joined by Bunyole MP Emmanuel Dombo to demand that Bigirimaana steps down to pave way for investigations into his possible criminality as the former custodian of funds in the Office of the Prime Minister, we can reveal.

Sources in the know tell us that Tumwine and Dombo expressed their displeasure on the floor of the house yesterday, garnering tremendous support from both NRM and opposition MPs. The petitioners also want Health Ministry PS Asuman Lukwago and Internal Affairs PS Stephen Kagoda to be dropped pending investigations into claims that monies got missing under them.

Gen. Tumwine and Dombo join a long list of politicians, ministers, religious leaders, cultural leaders, donors and 'wanainchi,' questioning Bigirimaana's continued presence in government, after money that was entrusted to him as OPM PS, also the Chief Accounting Officer, got lost.

According to Tumwine, it does not make sense and is in fact a mockery of justice, for Bigirimaana to be recycled and given another job as Gender Ministry PS, before he could be tasked to explain how big sums of money got lost under his very eye. The General dismisses talk that Bigirimaana was the one who brought the scam to the attention of the Auditor General as escapist.

That the scam happened, Tumwine argues, is itself enough evidence to show Bigirimaana was lax in performing his oversight role as PS. For that negligence, Tumwine argues, Bigirimaana cannot escape culpability.

"What explanation can we give for hunting down another PS Asuman Lukwago ( Health Ministry) for money that got lost under him, yet we keep protecting others?," quips the General. Accordingly he wants all suspected criminals to be handled the Investigator style; without fear or favour.

Those calling that Bigirimaana face the law, argue that leaving him free leads to speculations of selective prosecution. This is in respect of his juniors such as Geoffrey Kazinda who are already serving time in Luzira for ostensibly losing the money.

Damage

Because of the OPM fraud, donors have since closed the dollar taps. This prompted government to "raid" the national treasury to sort out the donors. This would cause the already financially stressed taxpayer additional stress.

Two, a financially strapped government has had to make do with hiking taxes, to find the monies it needs to run the country in light of the withheld dollars. This has piled more strain on the already strained tax payer. With the taxes hiked, fuel dealers among others, will have to deflect the added taxes on the poor 'wanainchi' to stay afloat.
