The committee chairperson Jesica Ababiku moved the motion amidst strong opposition from several MPs who are against passing the budget of the presidency minus facilitating ISO.

This was after Mbayo told the committee that only 19 billion out of ISO’s desired annual budget of 280billion shillings has been approved for 2018/19.nmn

Mbayo asked the committee to  approve  the available  budget for the office of the president because most of the issues they raised are beyond her control like the appointment of ten Residential District Commissioners in the newly created districts or those that will be created next financial year.

Earlier, the parliamentary presidential committee threatened not to pass the budget framework paper for the office of the president.

Committee members say that if the minister Esther Mbayo fails to cut budgets of other departments and increase funding to the Internal Security Organization (ISO) then they will not approve the entire budget of the office of the presidency.

MPS who included makindye east mp Kasozi Ibrahim, kassanda Simeo Nsubuga ,Bukanga county mp Steven Kangwagye pleaded with other committee members  against passing the framework paper without providing for ISO to procure transport means for its officers.

 Mbayo told the committee that ISO needs 22.2 billion shillings to buy 134 motor vehicles and 17.8 billion shillings to procure 1,443 motor cycles but only 482 million shillings was allocated in financial year 2017/18.

The MPs supported the remarks of the minister for security Gen. Henry Tumukunde who said that without security, nothing political, economic and social will be successful.

One of the inmates at Luzira prison who was arrested during the recent demonstrations in Kampala says that the spies go to Luzira and ask them whether they are ready to join the garrison that will fight against the Kampala government after serving their sentences.

The inmate who talked to us on condition of anonymity for fear of the repercussions told us that the spies are many in Luzira and they are made to stay with hardcore criminals. However the inmate told us that the genuine inmates happen to notice the spies and avoid all conversations with them. In fact a source in police told us that the system of planting spies among the inmates has helped the force to get the necessary intelligence information.

According to very impeccable intelligence sources, the security chiefs from ISO, CMI, police and ESO are in secret plans trying to abort the ill plans of the Al Shabaab on Uganda.

Intelligence has also landed on crucial information that some remnants of ADF (Allied Democratic Forces) and LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army) are planning to destabilize Uganda during the same period from the east.

We have been told that the negative elements in ADF and LRA have received money from some Arab countries which want to punish Uganda over the continued stay of UPDF in Somalia.

It is said that the terrorists were planning to unleash terror but their plans have been killed by the Ugandan security in the bud.
