Members of parliament on public accounts committee have summoned the solicitor general Harriet Luwabi who failed to appear before this committee today.
Lwabi who was supposed to have appeared today was represented by the administrator general who said that the solicitor general could not make it because she had travelled to London to attend Heritage oil company case against Uganda.
The MPS on the committee chaired by Terego MP Kassiano Wadri said that the solicitor general should have sent some of the lawyers to London to attend to the case in order for her to appear since she knew in advance that she was supposed to be in the committee to answer auditor general’s report.
The mps who included the mp for Bufumbira East Eddie Kwizera Kassiano Wadri, Mbarara woman mp Emma Boona noted that the solicitor General will be out of office for 17 days yet she did not leave in the office someone to effectively represent her in the committee.
The mps ordered the solicitor General who is now in London where she will be for 7 days and later she in Washington for 10 days to cut on the days she is supposed to be away and come back to appear before the public accounts committee and present the office accountability. They instructed the administrator general who represented the solicitor general to immediately contact Lwabi and call her back.
