Over the last fortnight, media has been reporting on how Iron Sheets marked for Office of the Prime Minister were reportedly found at her relatives’ homes in Namisindwa where she is the district Woman MP.

Credible reports however, indicate that Kitutu is not the only person that benefited from this lucrative deal but also other top government officials including the vice president Maj. Gen. Jesca Alupo, Prime Minister Robina Nabbanja, Government Chief Whip Hanson Obua among others.

President Yoweri Museveni has commenced investigations on who took and what and will demand full accountability.

Further reports allege that the Iron Sheets were doled out last year and this year for political mobilization through the OPM to various politicians, district officials and as well church leaders regardless of the region.

The Iron Sheets of G-28 and pre-painted were meant for vulnerable households, interest groups, institutions (churches, schools, mosques, health centres).

WIDER PICTURE

This could be a mother of all scandals at OPM and many top government officials will be exposed, a source knowledgeable on the course of the investigations told this publication.

The intelligence team is particularly interested in unconfirmed reports that some of the people mentioned in this list uses some of the Iron Sheets allocated to them for private use like roofing their hotels and apartments!

Some observers are further intrigued by the criteria that was used to pick the beneficiaries given that almost most of the Ugandans are vulnerable.

According to the World Bank’s Quantifying Vulnerability to Poverty in Uganda analysis, about 50 percent of the population in Uganda is vulnerable to poverty.

Legislators from the Karamoja sub-region now want forensic audits conducted on both the procurement and distribution of these relief items Iron Sheets to the intended beneficiaries.

They have also petitioned the Speaker of Parliament (who also ironically received 500 pieces) to institute a Select Committee to do an independent and in-depth investigation.

The Permanent Secretary in the Office of the Prime Minister, Keith Muhakanizi has since requested the Karamoja Affairs Ministry to submit accountability of the Iron Sheets.
