The permanent secretary in the office of the Prime Minister Pius Bigirimana has defended the former prime minister Apollo Nsibambi over his role in the transfer of the internal auditor Shaban Wejula.
While appearing before the public accounts committee of parliament that is investigating financial mismanagement in the office of the Prime Minister Bigirimana said that it was the decision of the ministry of finance to transfer Wejula.
He however admitted that he reported the matter to the former prime minister who advised that the matter should be referred to the ministry of finance.
He says that it’s him that reported to the ministry of finance for action but not the former prime minister as it has been claimed.
Last week the deputy secretary to the treasury Keith Muhakanizi while appearing before the committee said that the decision to transfer Wejula came as a result of constant phone calls that he received from the Bigirimana and Apollo Nsibambi.
