Corruption accusations ruin bus transport

The committee on Public service and Local government has started investigations into the contract Pioneer Easy bus recently signed with Kampala Capital City Authority.

The district leaders of Wakiso and Mukono allege that pioneer easy bus illegally got the contract to operate in their areas of jurisdiction.

The district leaders of Mukono and Wakiso say that they want Pioneer Bus to operate only inKampalasince they were licenced by KCCA.

According to the programme at parliament, the management of Pioneer easy bus will appear before MPs on Friday to defend themselves against accusation of corruption. The woman MP for Kalungu, Florence Kintu confirms that parliament is probing pioneer easy bus and KCCA. She says that preliminary evidence shows that pioneer bus got the contract to operate in Wakiso and Mukono illegally because there was no advertisement to that effect. She says one can not be given a licence to operate in another district without involving the leaders of the district in question.
