Minister of State for Labor, Employment and Industrial Relations Mwesigwa Rukatana has lashed out at his political rivals for pressuring him to show the accountability of UGX 20M provided by parliament to MPs to cater for the fight against COVID-19 in their constituencies.
Rukutana said this in an exclusive interview after donating medical equipment to Ntungamo District COVID-19 led by the RDC George Bakunda on Tuesday.
He noted that the said money was wired to the MPs’ accounts but he has not yet touched on it observing that the three NRM MPs from Ntungamo District have resolved to use the 20m shillings given per MP after the case is cleared.
However , he revealed that so far he has spent over 100m shillings on the people of Rushenyi county and Ntungamo District at large who are stuck in Kampala, Mbarara among other places.
He also advised pessimist politicians who are ever on social media such as whatsup, twitter and facebook to come down in villages and see what is being done instead of trading falsified information yet the public is appreciating what has been done.
The minister through her political assistant Priscah Tumusiime delivered 44 boxes of gloves, 40 boxes of face masks, 4 Infrared Thermometers, 40 liters of hand sanitizers and ten jelly cans of liquid soap.
Receiving the donation, the RDC Ntungamo George Bakunda hailed minister Rukutana for the medical donations saying that it will help the health workers to protect themselves against the diseases.
