MPs were each given shs40M, while the NRM legislators got theirs earlier. The legislators from the NUP party picked the money from the residence of Speaker Anita Among.
Ssenyonyi while speaking during a media interview stated that members of the NUP who picked the money have returned it.
“The NUP MPs who picked the 40million shillings admitted that it was wrong and returned it but we need to learn from this and avoid more traps in future,” Joel Ssenyonyi said.
“What is happening is the government is not doing what it should do, so the MPs find themselves under the pressure to provide services to the people. We are in fundraisers every other time, we are fundraising for hospitals etc, this is the work of government. So MPs find themselves in great need of finances,” he added.
However, Chris Obore, Parliament Communications Director, denied this money. He says such reports were aimed at tarnishing the image of the institution.
He advised that the MPs who claim to have received the money should declare the same to the IGG. On hearing this money saga, NUP president directed every NUP MP who had received that money to return because it was a trap.
In separate news previously reported by NEWSLEXPOINT.com, Minister for ICT, Chris Baryomunsi said NUP comes off as a party that exhibits extremism. According to him, NUP took over from FDC when it comes to extremism.
He said this while on the NBS Barometer show.
