The Parliamentary Committee on Defense and Internal Affairs is conducting its oversight work on different security agencies, including the Uganda Police, UPDF, and Uganda Prisons Service, among others, in the move to crack down on corruption following President Museveni's war against corruption in Uganda.
"Very many people have been arraigned in court on corruption charges but all these are pawns and just being used to be sacrificed. The main people to be charged and sent behind bars are Anita Annet Among, the former speaker and the Hon. Adolf Mwesige, the clerk to parliament who also happens to be the accounting officer at parliament and no single coin can be released without his knowledge. These two are the main culprits and we will all be happy if charged in court and then remanded for the massive corruption we have seen at parliament,” Olanya said.
