]]> Minister of finance Matia Kasaija has apologised to the parliament for the statement he made  accusing Parliament of passing a 1% tax on mobile money which wasn’t the position of the Ministry. This happened after Speaker of parliament Rebbecca Kadaga  asked Matia Kasaija to make an apology to the parliament during a session on 11th July 2018.

Minister Kasaija apologized to MPs for the statement he made

Hon. Kasaija first denied the allegations but later on he made an apology. “In my address, I never meant to say that Parliament passed 1% tax in error. I can’t come and fault and say that Parliament that acted in error, I couldn’t do that. I am part of this Parliament; I would have shot myself in the foot.” He added on saying “I apologize sincerely. I did apologize to the caucus yesterday. I never meant to say that Parliament passed the Act in error.”

However, Winnie Kiiza leader of opposition demanded that Hon.Kasaija submits a written statement of his apology. “I find it uncomforting that the apology that was demanded of the Minister is taken casually and yet it is affecting a serious matter because the integrity at Parliament is at stake, Ugandans will not believe it anymore.” She demanded.
