Meanwhile, the head of Prime minister’s Delivery Unit at the office of the prime minister (OPM), Robert Kasule Ssebunya who represented Prime Minister Robina Nabanja at the launching ceremony has challenged the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) of Uganda to consider printing ballot papers with the Corporation to save tax payer’s money given to other countries.
According to Ssebunya, Uganda spends alot of tax payers money to outside governments to print out ballots which he says would be best done by UPPC for cost-cutting measures.
