Resident District Commissioners (RDCs), judges and LC5 chairperson have got 50 million shillings each to buy brand new cars. But they have been directed not to disclose information to members of the press.
The first batch of the RDCs, judges and LC5 chairpersons got the 50 million shillings at the beginning of February this year and the last batch will get the cash in March 2012.
The speaker of parliament Rebecca Kadaga says that RDCs, judges, MPs and LC5 chairpersons are all entitled to transport facilitation just like ministers and other government officials.
Ms Kadaga says that the beneficiaries of the car programme are not supposed to disclose details to the members of the press. Recently MPs got 103 million shillings each to buy cars.
