Democratic Party today welcomed the move by government to bring in court all government officials who engaged in the misuse and embezzlement of public funds.

Former Uganda President, Prof. Gilbert Bukenya

According to Democratic Party President Nobert Mao, it is absurd and embarrassing for one person to misuse the money alone yet there are no drugs in hospitals, roads are in a sorry state, schools lucks adequate facilities, prices of essential commodities are so high among other problems that needs redress.

This follows the summoning of former Vice President Prof. Gilbert Bukenya over the misuse of CHOGM funds when Uganda hosted the Commonwealth Heads of government meeting in 2007.

The government yesterday said all those implicated in the CHOGM scandal and other corruption related practices will be brought before court after thorough investigations.

However, Mao calls upon government not to apply selective justice in this move so that everybody engaged in such frauds be brought to book.
