A section of members of parliament have intensified pressure on government to interdict the permanent secretary in the office of the Prime Minister Pius Bigirimana.
Mps including Theodore Sekikubo, Winfred Kizza , Samuel Otada, Gerald Karuhanga, Vincent Kyamadidi, Celinah Nebanda among others are accusing government of undermining parliament by failing to implement its resolution to have the PS interdicted.
Addressing journalists at parliament, the Mps wondered why other people could be interdicted over such allegations and Bigirimana is being shielded.
They have now given an ultimatum of up to Tuesday next week for government to take action.
The accusations come against the back drop of a Monday suggestion by president Museveni that he needed to consult before interdicting Bigirimana the PS.
In a related development, Politicians are challenged to keep away from issuing statements that may jeopardize the ongoing investigations on the Office of the prime minister.
This follows calls from politicians for the interdiction of the Permanent Secretary Pius Bigirimaana.
The commissioner of information in the prime minister’s office Moses Watasa says that several people are baselessly making conclusions which is not fair.
Watasa says that much as parliament has directed that the permanent secretary resigns, proper procedures have to be followed.
He says steps are being taken by government to address the issue including the arrest of atleast 7 people from the OPM, Bank of Uganda and ministry of finance and plans to have the embezzled funds repayed
