Movt MPs bitter over money RICHARD MUTUMBA & AGNESS NANDUTU KAMPALA SOME of the Movement Members of Parliament have complained over the criteria used in determining their facilitation while on Movement assignments.
The complaints come after some MPs were given varying amounts of money reportedly to facilitate them to deliver party registration cards and supervise formation of Movement committees in their respective constituencies.
The party last week gave MPs between Shs1 million and Shs3 million each as refund for expenses purportedly incurred while supervising formation of party committees in their areas.
But some of the MPs who received Shs 1 million or less argue that the method used favours some class of MPs.
The MPs signed for the money at NRM headquarters on plot 10 Kyadondo Road on Thursday and Friday.
One of the MPs, who had received Shs1million, said the method used was unfair.
"There are three categories: those officials of the caucus, who even receive regular salaries, then another class in b etween, and we the followers, who get peanuts," the MP who preferred anonymity said.
The MPs are part of group of more than 400 party mobilisers currently assisting in establishing NRM committees from districts down to villages.
The State Minister in charge of Parliamentary Affairs, Ms Hope Mwesigye, confirmed that indeed Movement MPs were receiving some money to facilitate them to transport party registration cards, open branch offices and party committees.
However, she dismissed speculation that the money was meant to bribe MPs to support the ruling Movements position on Constitution amendments__________________________________________________
