The politician highlighted how the President warned the IGG, Beti Kamya against initiating the lifestyle audit.
It should be recalled that Kamya a while ago proposed an audit into the lifestyle of civil servants. This was to see if their means of living comply with the salaries they earn.
Museveni stopped her arguing that this will instead make them start to take the money outside Uganda. Apparently, if they invest it here, it helps in growing the economy despite being corrupt.
According to Munyagwa, Museveni seems to be aware of the corruption amongst his ministers. Therefore, he should be the one to be censored instead of these ministers because he shields them.
“Hon. Beti Kamya wanted to propose a lifestyle audit, but President Museveni warned her against it. He seems to be aware of the corrupt individuals in his administration. They should censure him instead of his ministers.”
The ex-MP added that the current regime is built on corruption. In fact if the Bible was written before this regime, Munyagwa believes there would have been a book chronicling it’s thuggery.
“If the NRM party existed before the Bible was written, there would be a book dedicated to chronicling their thievery. The country is governed by gazetted thieves who engage in large-scale stealing.”
This comes at the back of the iron sheets scandal meant for Karamoja in the Office of the Prime Minister.
Top government officials apparently swindled and diverted off-course these iron sheets. Among these officials who took the iron sheets is former Parliament speaker, Hon Rebecca Kadaga.
Despite saying that she used them to roof a health center and school which were destroyed by a hail storm, Kadaga has been heavily criticized.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
