Seven among 18 ministers, including prime minister, Rt. Hon. Robina Nabbanja who were named in the scandal involving diversion of Karamoja iron sheets are on their way out of cabinet, Free Man News-UG has learnt.
Informers inside state House have told this website that as the rumors of impending cabinet announcement gain momentum, it has reportedly been decided that seven ministers among those who benefited from the illegal diversion of Karamoja iron sheets be sacked in public interest.
Not only are they going to be fired from cabinet, but also be sanctioned from any party responsibility until 2028.
This information is contained in a security report that was done and forwarded to H.E the President a few days ago. We have also been informed that the former prime minister, Ruhakana Rugunda is expected to bounce back in the new cabinet. Others expected to bounce back include: Hon. Aidah Nantaba, Hon. Iren Muloni and Kiwanda Godfrey.
It should be recalled that President Museveni earlier tasked his security team including Maj. Tom Magambo (Director CID) and head of Anti corruption unit afande Isoke to ensure that the investigation into this saga is done and culpable ministers be prosecuted.
The team according to our our Sources proceeded by making a report divided into two parts. One part talked of what was referred to as ‘Aggravated theft’ and another talked of misconduct.
The first part meant those ministers who were found with exhibits having used them on their personal investments while the second part was about those who got them but kept them for their future use.
It was reported that some ministers were actually keeping the sheets in readiness for the coming NRM primary elections.
“Those who were found with exhibits at their home are already in court. These fall under aggravated theft. Those who returned the iron sheets are the ones going to be sacked depending on the number each got” explained a spaceman.
The spacemen named the seven ministers including four in office of the prime minister, two in finance ministry and one from Bukedi subregion.
Meanwhile, our informer said that the president is planning changes in the NRM secretariat where he intends to remove one of the top leaders and appoint her to cabinet.
That position is going to be filled alongside that of NRM EC chairperson with a lady from Busoga and Toro respectively.
Few months ago, the nation was awash with news of arrest of three ministers including Maria Goreti Kitutu, Amos Lugoloobi among others together with several officials on accusations of stealing iron sheets meant for the poor people of Karamoja especially karachunas.
Museveni now wants to fire all these ministers and replace them with new faces whose names we shall publish here shortly. The president already promised to take political action against the culpable ministers and also asked the DPP to prosecute others referring to the scandal as terrorism and economic sabotage.
