The Government of Uganda chief whip Hamson has distanced himself from the Iron sheets bonanza that has caused a whirl wind in cabinet & parliament, maintaining that he did not know about them until a verbal invitation was extended to him by Minister Goreti Kitutu to partake.
In a personal statement from Obua, he concedes to have received 300 pieces of iron sheets from the Office of the Prime Minister which passed as a donation to his constituency Ajuri County.
Obua also attributes that minister Kitutut shared Iron sheets to other minister as a trap in order to cover up her self.
"She well knew that state house anti-corruption unit was investigating on her, so she looked for how she could prolong the investigations. This is how she gets an idea of sharing the iron sheets to us. actually I got a direct call from Minister kitutu informing me to collect the iron sheets, I couldn't refuse taking it because many schools in my constituency need them"- Said Obua.
He says the news of the iron sheets donation was passed to him by Kitutu after the cabinet sitting on MOnday 23rd January 2023 at Entebbe State House.
Kitutu intimated to him that the 300 iron sheets were ready for collection at a time of his choosing from the OPM stores.
“Subsiquently I instructed my Personal Assistant, Wilfred Mwesigye to go and pick the 300 pieces of iron sheets which he did sign and collected on 1st February 2023 for further distribution,” Obua said.
