NRM legislator of Lwemiyaga County in Ssembabule district Theodore Ssekikubo has blasted the Inspector General of Government Raphael Baku over what Ssekikubo has called selectivity in preference of criminal summons against those implicated in corruption.
Addressing the press, Ssekikubo says that Baku , who was thought to be a blessing at the time of his appointment, has exhibited a high degree of selectivism in charging criminals.
His comments follow the court summons that were issued to the former Vice President Prof. Gilbert Bukenya who headed the CHOGM cabinet sub committee in 2007.
Bukenya was summoned along with Motorcare, a company that supplied the BMWs that were used for transporting CHOGM guests.
Bukenya however consistently insisted the decisions of the subcommittee of cabinet were a collective responsibility of all cabinet members.
Uganda lost over 500bn shillings in the process, most of which was embezzled.
Ssekikubo says other ministers and Government officials who the Auditor General’s report pointed out such as Sam Kuteesa, Hope Mwesigye and Amama Mbabazi should also be summoned.
Meanwhile, Opposition Democratic Party President Norbert Mao has also castigated Government’s selective application of justice on Prof. Bukenya saying Amama Mbabazi and Sam Kuteesa should also be prosecuted.
Mao says the impending arrest and prosecution of Bukenya is a result of selective justice.
