The government of Burundi authorized Uganda to pay the monies owed to Burundi to Picfare industries in turn for Picfare to supply scholastic materials but the mps are querying why picfare diverted from the original agreement of supplying scholastic materials to T-shirts.

The mps on this committee say that they have received some information that all the money was paid to picfare but not all the goods have not been supplied to Burundi.

The lead council of this committee Eddie Kwizera says this is one of the issues among other compensations they will raise with the president when they met him on Wednesday.

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.
