According to sources, President Museveni and NRM Secretary General Amama Mbabazi have proposed that each MP on NRM ticket pays a monthly tax of 15% of their monthly income to NRM. Remember the MPs have to remit funds to NSSF and contribute to social events in their constituencies and families among others.

Before the President’s proposal, the MPs have been paying a monthly tax of 10% to NRM head offices on plot 10 Kyadondo road in Kampala. The request by the president to NRM MPs to cough more money to the ruling party has been delivered to the members concerned today by the party’s treasurer, Amelia Kyambadde.

However some MPs have vowed to disrespect Museveni’s proposal saying that they can not increase the amount of money they remit to the party when shilling has lost value and inflation is so high. Some of the MPs who have vowed to challenge Museveni’s proposal include Mohammad Nsereko for Kampala Central and Theodre Sekikubo for Lwemiyaga County.

Even though the magazine was reported not to be selling, the sponsor kept on pumping in into money until he got some misunderstandings with its editor, Sean Ndawula.

Sources say that Sean breached the agreement he had signed with the sponsor of the magazine blocking the chances of getting the cash to print Elyt magazine.

We have been told that Sean had agreed to give the sponsor of his magazine 30% of the total revenue but when the magazine reportedly got an advert from Uganda telecom, the editor failed to remit the 30% to the sponsor forcing him to quit the business.
