The chairman contracts committee of the ministry of health Jude Waswa has been handed over to the CID at parliament for questioning.

This was after Waswa failed to explain why the ministry went ahead to procure motor vehicle tyres before the decision of the contracts committee was communicated to the permanent secretary.

The committee is concerned that the contracts committee did not make any decision on this matter but the documents were forged by a group of some officials with in the ministry.

Committee members Vincent Kyamadidi and Gerald Karuhanga had tasked Waswa to explain why it took him two months to sign the documents that had been approved by the contracts committee.

The mps say that it was a trick for him to delay the procurement process so he could get kick backs first from the supplier.

The mps were also disappointed that the former head of procurement committee of the ministry of health Mohammed Segonga was transferred to head the procurement unit at mulago hospital after the permanent secretary of the ministry of health recommended that he was incompetent and unfit for the job.
