The Minister of Education and Sports Janet Museveni has explained to Parliament why her Ministry together with Uganda National Examination Board (UNEB) reached a decision to release Primary Leaving Examination (PLE) results at Kampala Parents Main Hall on Friday (Tomorrow).

An earlier communication by UNEB indicated how the event will be hosted at a school which is owned by businessman Sudhir Ruparelia.

Janet was tasked to explain on Thursday by Budiope West legislator Robert Musoke who queried the sudden change of venue from President’s office to Kampala Parents.

The first Lady, flanked by her junior ministers; John Chrysostom Muyingo (Higher Education), Rosemary Seninde (Primary Education) and Hamson Obua (Sports) was appearing before the house committee on education and sports to present the Ministry’s budget frame work paper for 2020/2021.

She told the MPs that the change of venue was caused by the damage of Air Conditioning system at President’s office hall which as a Ministry they think wouldn’t be convenient to host people in such an environment.

But at the same time, the Ministry wasn’t willing to pay for a venue anywhere in Kampala to release the results and that is how they found Sudhir’s school which has offered them a free space to conduct the exercise.

“Kampala Parents is a primary school it doesn’t charge us; we are paying anything to release the results there.

“We normally use the President’s office hall because we are strictly not willing to pay for halls when we have government halls. But it has had problems with its air conditioning and we can’t put people in a place that has no fresh air. So we were looking for other place where we can go and yet not pay that is how we got into Kampala Parents.

I don’t know the difference in government schools or private schools if we are not paying for our being there.
