Members of parliament have vehemently criticized government’s approach to the current economic crisis the country is facing.

Lawmakers including Theodore Sekikubo, Vicent Kyamadidi, Wilfred Nuwagaba, Mohammed  Nsereko and Henry Musasizi say that scrapping off sugar is not enough  to rescue Ugandans from the current crisis.

The criticisms come only a day after President Museveni meet with the cabinet over the economic situation in the country.

Lwemiyaga County Member of Parliament Theodore Sekikubo says that though the gesture is welcome, government need to take serious and sustainable economic strategies to reduce the cost of living for the ordinary poor Ugandan.

Members suggested that there should a holistic approach to the economic provide that includes reduction of taxes on fuel which determine prices of other commodities.

Rwampara County Member of Parliament Vincent Kyamadidi said that government must also refocus on its expenditure patterns which have also drained the country’s economy.
