All this saga comes in after her failure to be endorsed as the FDC flager bearer for EALA. It is rumoured that the FDC president, Col. Kiiza Besigye backed a junior Ingrid Turinawe. And the party’s national Mobiliser Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu and a team of his youth backed Anita Amongi who is also been seen as a junior to Salaamu Musumba. This has very much annoyed the senior Salaamu Musumba and other elders in the party.

Two political leaders, Michael Mabikke and Dr. Abed Bwanika have opposed the MPs move to impeach President Museveni.

The MPs’ proposal to impeach Museveni is being driven by MP Odonga Otto (Aruu) and Ken John Lukyamuzi of Lubaga South. Abed Bwanika and Mabikke say that the MPs who plan to impeach Museveni are in day dreams since NRM has majority MPs in the house.

Mabikke says that opposition members have no capacity to impeach Museveni since they have few numbers in the house. Mabikke says that the MPs should concentrate on developmental issues than dreaming to impeach Museveni.

MPs Lukyamuzi and Otto want to impeach Museveni over allegations of causing financial lose to the government in the compensation saga to businessman Hassan Basajjabalaba and purchase of fighter jets. Mabikke is the president General of the Social Democratic Party while Bwanika is the president of the Peoples’ Developmental Party.

During last Thursday’s meeting NRM MPs were divided over exonerating Tumusiime Mutebile for his role in the 142 billion shillings compensation to city businessman Hassan Bassajjabalaba.

The NRM MPs argued that they would not accept to be swayed by the president and would stick to the parliament’s recommendation that Mutebile be personally held liable for his commissions and omissions in the Basajjabalaba saga.

Museveni on Thursday pleaded with MPs to spare Mutebile reasoning that while Mutebile erred in not consulting, he technically committed no offence under Ugandan laws.

Museveni says that whereas Mutebile never consulted him before making the commitments, the MPs need to save him for the sake of the economy. Museveni says that Mutebile has for a long time been without blemish so the MPs should spare him.

The meeting followed yesterday’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) caucus meeting in Kampala which failed to agree over the future of Mutebile in bank ofUganda. The MPs were invited for the meeting by the NRM secretariat on Kyadondo road. The meeting took place at State House Entebbe in the morning.

The NRM MP caucus which sat in Kampala failed to agree on whether to support Museveni’s position to exonerate Mutebile in the Hassan Bassajjabala compensation saga.

We are told that Museveni requested the MPs to reverse the PAC committee’s recommendation that Mutebile be personally held liable for his commissions and omissions in Basajjabalaba’s compensation saga.

Uganda intelligence officers intercepted this letter yesterday and handed it over to president Museveni who has now directed police to hunt for the people behind it.

The authors of the letter who are believed to be members of opposition Forum for Democratic Change or Democratic Party complains that Uganda signed oil agreements with Tullow oil company despite a Parliamentary resolution that put a moratorium on the signing of the same until relevant laws are in place.

Sources in security and government told our reporters that President Museveni is concerned about the letter because it could derail the oil production in Uganda. Once the security manages to nab the authors of the letter, police intends to charge them with economic sabotage and conspiracy to sabotage.

The residents who were led by the kanungu woman Member of parliament Elizabeth Karungi claim that Mbabazi has been accused falsely since 2010 when the Temangalo saga came and it was followed by the chogm scandal where he also came out innocent.

The group  alleged that the docurements tabled by Gerald Karuhanga  were false and forged to tarnish the name of their member of parliament.

The petitioners further want the speaker to stop mps from making reference in connection to chogm and Temangalo since the IGG and the committee of parliament exonerated the prime minister and also parliament to cancel the resolution that was passed on the 10th and 11th October which calls on Mbabazi and his co accused Sam Kutesa and Hilary Onek to step aside.

However the deputy speaker Jacob Oulanya who received the petition says that they can’t take any action since there is a related case in court

Talking before the parliamentary ad hoc committee investigating the alleged saga in the energy sector, the Uganda Electricity Distribution Company Managing Director Joseph Katera said that these four government organs owe the government over 30 billion shillings.

Katera noted that Uganda Prisons owes 4 billion shillings, Uganda Police 6 billion shillings, UPDF 19 billion shillings and UBC 2 billion shillings.

Talking to the media after the committee meeting Hon. Medard Segona said that the committee has directed UEDCL and UMEME to ensure that that money is recovered.

Hon. Segona says that the parliament approves the budget for those organs annually adding that it is surprising that they do not pay for power when they have a vote for power in there budgets.

Hon. Segona adds that the parliament has reports that the police officers who stay in houses with electricity pay for their bills and he wonders where that money goes after collecting it.
