Masindi municipality speaker Tadeo Opio has yesterday dismissed the motion brought by Hon Peter Ndabi I singoma before the council members seeking for leave to go and compile evidence and documents of alleged theft of government money , unlawful implementation of council resolutions among  others by Ronald Kyomuhendo Businge mayor masindi municipality .

While presenting his motion to the speaker before the councillors and other dignitaries, Ndabi cited that some of the grounds he based on  on why he was 148 million from OPM mayor allegedly sat and shared alone and when they went on ground didnt find the groups, issue of James ventures private company failing to vacate municipal house, Kirasa market  among other issues.

However on response to Ndabi’s request, Tadeo Opio speaker masindi municipal council admitted to have received Ndabi’s request on Thursday last week and was supposed  to respond to it by either granting or not  in writing within two days, however on sad note he got challenge and went for burial and thus took 5 days without responding to.

Opio adds that as a councillor who had interest in the motion, Ndabi decided to conclude that since he delayed to respond as speaker on his request, he had sided with the mayor something which is not true.

“To prove that Hon Ndabi was not  professional  in pursuing his mission was going an extra mile to contact him as speaker wanting to know as to why he delayed to respond in time , his work was just to write and stops at that and wait for his response either in his best interest or not”

The way he acted by putting him as speaker under pressure showed to him as if his intentions we’re not in line with some of the laws he had courted in the letter. He wrote to him and there for he also showed disrespect to his office since he was not supposed  to respond positively to his letter  and there for he decided to use his power as speaker not to grant him leave to go and prepare his motion.

On response to speakers ruling, Ndabi says speaker has biased mind since his motion was to request for leave to go and compile evidence and documents as far as the theft was concerned saying how can speaker dismiss something before bringing the evidence.

Fred Alinaitwe one of the councillor who sighed on the motion to impeach mayor was not happy with speakers resolution saying mayor has never exercised his duties and besides that speaker didn’t give chance to listen to both sides.

Ronald Kyomuhendo Businge mayor masindi municipality on response denied all allegations against him saying Hon Ndabi’s who brought the motion has his own personal issues with him as mayor.

Kyomuhendo says he came to deliver service to people not to fight personal wars .
