Aruu County MP, Odonga Otto

According to Otto, the thermal power providers have not honored the agreements signed with the government.

Otto says according to the agreement the companies were supposed to generate power for 18 hours a day which has not been realized saying there must be value for money spent.

He said load shedding has instead increased and power shortages continued to affect more Ugandans.

Otto is also demanding a full list of people owning those thermal power companies saying some big shots in government could be owning them just defraud Government and tax payers money.

He raised the concerns while contesting the amount of money the power generation companies demand for continuing of power generation to minimize  the current load shedding.

Katoto says the power suppliers demand 171 million dollars which is higher than the 135 million dollars cost of the fuel the country imports per year.

He said that MPS should be on alert to detect corruption in companies supplying power because part of the funds they ask for power generation could be benefiting individuals at the expense of poor Ugandans.
