PRESS BRIEF
1. THE SCANDLE WITH NRM GOVERNMENT LEADERS
This country is full of imaginable scandals as we saw the IGG uprooting the dirty and rotten scandals in the Ministry of Health which we think is just a tip of the iceberg.
Can the people of Uganda imagine that 3 top officials of Ministry of health who are supposed to protect the people of Uganda to give them better health facilities, to immunize our children and reduce the infant mortality rate, even before we were told that Ministry of health officials were importing expired drugs, what a rotten country! What type of officials are we entrusting our lives with fake drugs and medicines all over the country? That’s why we think that integrity demands the culprits should be brought to books.
Those leaders are joking with the lives of the people of Uganda. We therefore, want to commend the investigations and actions of the IGG. We appreciate the efforts of the IGG and her office for walking the talk without fear or favour.
We are sure that soon even those who haven’t been arrested will be arrested so that all the suspects face the law.
It has now become evidently clear that corrupt leaders, who divert taxpayers’ money to their own personal use, cause the lack of drugs, equipment and services in all our hospitals in the country.
We ask the IGG to continue with the investigations to include even lower cadres in the Ministry of health and elsewhere.
We demand that apart from arresting people and remanding them in Luzira, they should refund our money. Their properties should be attached to recover the money.
2. SPORTS IN OUR COUNTRY
We want to appeal to the Government of Uganda, to be more involved in the matters of Sports particularly in the National Teams e.g. Cranes. We would like to see the Government participating and sponsoring all our National Teams. We want the Government to always encourage citizens to Support and participate in Sports. We take this opportunity to encourage the people of Uganda to come in big numbers to cheer the Cranes – our National Team on the 2nd of June 2007.
