Cars Of The Speakers Are Not That Expensive – Parliament’s Chris Obore

Posted by: Suubi Anne in Uganda news June 9, 2022

Parliament Communications Officer, Chris Obore has told the public that the cars of the speakers they are talking about are not expensive at all.

The cars apparently cost Shs2.4billion. The public argues that in the line of the current economic situation in the country, this cars are not necessary.

Many say such an expense does not give regard to the financial plight of the taxpayers, especially at a time like this.

Obore explained and said the Ugandan supplier had actually asked for more money than what they used. He says if it’s about importing the cars, that shouldn’t be the argument in any way.

“The supplier in Uganda asked us for far more money than the one we used to procure those cars. Why then wouldn’t we give the Ugandan supplier the deal if it was about being extravagant?”

Obore actually says people are just using the car incident to attack the person of Anita Among. In any case, he says, these cars belong to Parliament as a body.

“Parliament did not do anything wrong to allocate these cars. First, we procured them in February, meaning we are within the budget time frame. Secondly, these are not personal cars, they are cars attached to the people in these offices as long as they hold the office and they are mandated by law. This is not about Among or Tayebwa, they are merely office holders, the cars belong to parliament,” Obore said.
