Members,
Presidents office to pay for a private persons debts for fighting multi partyism? Is this reasonable let alone even legal?
I thought NRM/A had undergone a mind change and were now all for a multi party system?
If M7 wants he should pay this debt from his own resources. He is rich enough and shouldn't burden the over taxed Ugandan tax payer with this illegal pay.

MASAKA - The President�s Office has undertaken to pay legal fees and costs incurred by former MP for Bukomansimbi, Hajji Lubyayi Kisiki, against his rival Maurice Kagimu. The costs arose out of a Masaka High Court ruling recently. Lubyayi lost two election petitions against Mr Kiwanuka, the current MP for Bukomansimbi, and court awarded the latter total costs of Shs 27 million. Mr Fox Odoi, a legal aide to President Museveni, this week wrote to Kiwanuka� lawyers; Lukwago and Alaka and Company that the President�s Office would pay Lubyayi�s debts. About two weeks ago, at the launch of the UYM in Bukomansimbi, Lubyayi appealed to President Museveni to help him settle the legal bills. He implored Lt. Col. Proscovia Nalweyiso, the chief guest, to inform Museveni that by lodging the petitions, he had been fighting multipartyism. Kiwanuka is a DP member. Kiwanuka�sr, Erias Lukwago told this reporter that the President�s Office had pledged to pay the bills in two installments. The first installment is to be paid on June 15 while the second tranche would be cleared at the end of June this year. |
