Museveni summons CEC
The development comes at a time when President Museveni summoned a meeting for the Central Executive Committee , the top most organ of the ruling NRM party.
The meeting set for later today is expected to among other discuss the issue of corruption.
President Museveni last week said he had got useful information regarding a racket involving Ministry of Finance officials and others at parliament to take kickbacks.
“I have been hearing stories that there is racket from ministry of finance to parliament. I have been hearing of it but now I have proof. Their time is up. I have been hearing that from ministry of finance, they arrange with accounting officers of ministries to come to parliament to provide certain funds provided they take a share,” Museveni said.
“I have been getting good information about corrupt actors among the public servants but also among the political actors. With firm evidence, I will crush these traitors. Public servants and political leaders that steal government money are corrupt and will be crushed.
