MPs on the presidential affairs committee of parliament today sent away the minister of information and national guidance Mary Karoro Okurut who had appeared to this committee to explain issues relating to digital migration in the broadcasting industry.

The committee chairperson Banarbas Tinkasimire said the minister along with her team were not prepared and therefore the committee could not waste time to listen to the minister who had no answers to their questions.

Karoro told the committee that she was not in position to answer the questions  raised by the MPs  and needed more time to  prepare a brief to the committee over the issues and later return on Tuesday.

She said MPs’ questions are broad and therefore she needs to first research and get answers.

The MPs want the minister to explain the land wrangles surrounding UBC and its competence to manage digital migration.
