Budadiri West Member of Parliament Nathan Nandala Mafabi has called for the arrest of all MPs on the Legal & Parliamentary Affairs Committee, for conspicuously approving the Shs1.7Bn Service Award given to the four Commissioners.


The four include former leader of opposition, Mathias Mpuuga, Solomon Silwany (Bukooli Central), Esther Afoyochan (Zombo Woman) and Prossy Mbabazi (Rubanda Woman).

Nandala made the remarks while addressing journalists after signing the censure motion. Nandala says that for the past 23 years he has been at Parliament, no Commissioner has ever been paid any service award. Nandala has also called for the refund of the Shs1.7Bn service award by the four commissioners.

He says that MPs on the Legal Committee should be arrested like their counterparts on the Budget Committee that are currently under Police custody for running a corruption racket in Parliament.

In a related development, three legislators are in Police custody for questioning regarding corruption allegations involving the Ministry of Finance and Parliament.

The three include Yusuf Mutembuli, MP for Bunyole East in Butaleja District and deputy chair of Parliament’s Legal Committee, Lwengo District Woman MP Cissy Namujju and Busiki MP Paul Akamba. The homes of the three detained legislators are also being searched for evidence in the corruption investigation.
