The Anti-corruption coalition has spoken out in support of the exoneration of the Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi over expenditures on security preparations for the 2007 commonwealth Heads of government meeting (CHOGM).
The Inspector General of Government Raphael Baku exonerated Amama Mbabazi in a report that was released on Monday.
Mbabazi was being accused of influence pedalling in the procurement of security communication system.
The public accounts committee of the 8th parliament had recommended his prosecution for allegedly breaching procurement procedures in 11 billion shillings deal.
The executive director Anti-corruption coalition Cissy Kagaba says they agree with IGG that Mbabazi did nothing wrong. Kagaba says they have analyzed different report including that of the IGG, the Auditor general and parliament and found out that Mbabazi did not breach any laws.
She notes that the calling of the NRM caucus to discuss the fate of the ministers created suspicion and drove the members of the public to sentence the ministers without relying on any evidence.
Cissy Kagaba says there is need to drove evidence based accusation to avoid false accusation.
