The Kampala FDC offices are located on City House building in Kampala. The managers of the building, ‘Crane management’ have already notified FDC about the move to close their offices and have their property thrown out over failure to pay rent for the last six months. It would be the third time landlords to close FDC offices in a period of less than four months.

 The first FDC office to be closed was that of Entebbe and last week the FDC office in Iganga was closed after the party failed to clear a debt of 2.4 million shillings which had accumulated as rent arrears. However one of the FDC chiefs in charge of Buganda region, Ibrahim Kasozi says that all the problems facing FDC Kampala offices would be solved soon.

He assured us that the offices would not be closed as the whole situation is under control. We hear that all the money meant to pay rent for FDC offices were used in last year’s general elections. By James Okello

We have been reliably informed that Hajji Basajjabalaba has bought five timber houses in Ndeeba and officially joined the business.

The business tycoon has now recruited his family members and cousins to run his timber business on his behalf. In fact Basajjabalaba has a lot of money. He has even bought off the land on which the five timber stores are seated.

If history remains constant, you will soon hear that conflicts have erupted at timber stores in Ndeeba. You see wherever Basajjabalaba goes, conflicts follow him. When he was managing Nakasero and Owino markets, his administration was characterised by wrangles.

Bbumba appeared before the committee to explain her role in sanctioning the monies over 140 billion shillings claim to Basajjabalaba for cancellation of contracts to run Nakasero and Owino markets, as well as Constitutional Square.

Bbumba is said to have sanctioned the payments despite of advice from the Auditor General’s office against it.

The legislators accused the minister of disregarding President Yoweri Museveni’s letter dated 17^th May 2011, which described as scandalous and unacceptable.

MP Gerald Kruhanga said it was unwise for Bbumba to sanction the payment yet a day earlier, the Auditor General’s office had instituted a special investigation into the monies.

Maxwell Okora further said the President’s letter, questioning the claims to Basajjabalaba should have been taken into account and the payments scrutinized further.
