Iron sheet scandal with ministers names on the list

As the ministers say they distributed the iron sheets to the victims of the natural disasters, new details have surfaced regarding the iron sheets scandal rocking the prime ministers office.

With the different Ugandans in Karamojong region who were supposed to receive relief of iron sheets from the government which is said not to have been received by the people, different evidence has surfaced showing some ministers involved in the scandal where they were given iron sheets with no formal requests.

In an interview honorable Matia Kasaija the finance minister said ” I personally didn’t request for them , but they were just allocated to mi. I think they are sympathetic to people especially us with constituencies. I am not criticizing them that they offered them to us, but definitely, I didn’t place any application.”

However, the minister of Relief, Disaster Preparedness and Refugees Hillary Onerk, said he was not aware of the development.

Mr Onek yesterday said: “I don’t know where the iron sheets originated from and how the ministers ended up receiving them. The good thing is the prime minister is one of the beneficiaries and let her and other ministers explain how they got the iron sheets. As for me, I have no information about that.”
