Lukyamuzi, who is also the MP for Lubaga South, adds that Museveni abused state funds through Corruption, nepotism, extravagancy, buying teargas and Fighter jets.

He says that Museveni’s ministers have defrauded the state. Some ministers in Museveni’s government such as Amama Mbabazi, Sam Kuteesa, Khiddu Makubuya and Syda Bbumba were recently asked to resign over corruption. And indeed some of the ministers have resigned.

The statehouse officials who have faced the axe include the head of the legal department, Joy Kabatsi and private secretaries to the president, Geoffrey Atwine, Juliet Kaliisa and Edward Muhoozi.

The said sacked state house officials were last month at the centre of the controversial 142 billion shillings compensation deal toKampalabusinessman, Hassan Basajjabalaba.

The police have also since last week been investigating Kabatsi and her colleagues to establish their role in the inflated Basajjabalaba claims. Recently two cabinet ministers, Syda Bbumba and Khiddu Makubuya resigned from cabinet over their role in the Basajjabalaba compensation deal. The governor Bank of Uganda, Tumusiime Mutebile is also being investigated over his role in the botched Basajjabalaba deal.

The two ministers resigned last week after the Public Accounts Committee of the 9^th parliament accused them of causing financial loss to the taxpayer and abuse of office for their role in approving reported inflated compensation claims to a Kampala Businessman Hassan Basajjabalaba. The money was in excess of 150 billion shillings. At the meeting we are told that the president requested MPs to ‘love their party, ministers and the country and to save ministers and the government whenever there is a need to do so.’

A source that attended the meeting told us that the MP for Lwemiyaga Theodre Sekikubo challenged the president never to think that the MPs will ever save corrupt ministers. He reportedly told him that those corrupt ministers will one day fall and go away but Uganda will remain. So Sekikubo told the president that He and his conscience will never put NRM interests before national and citizens interests.

The MPs also asked Museveni to advise Bank of Uganda Governor Tumusiime Mutebile to resign for his role in the deals Bbumba and Makubuya were accused of.

Leading the anti hot air crusade is Ivan Semwanga Ronald, a top critic of MP Khiddu Makubuya in Luweero district.

Semwanga, a councilor in Katikamu South says that Makubuya has never attended any council meeting or fulfilled any of the promises he has been making in parliamentary campaigns since 2001.

Semwanga told our informers in Luweero that when the residents of Katikamu South recently demanded for accountability of the 10 million shillings which are given to MPs to develop their areas, Makubuya reportedly told them that the money in question is given to him as a person.

Semwanga says he is now shopping for a person who will contest against MP Khiddu in 2016 parliamentary polls. However, Khiddu has also not announced whether he will seek reelection.
