Barnabas Tinkasiimire

Buyaga west MP Barnabas Tinkasiimire says that  Members of parliament should stop spending sleepless nights looking for how they enter into the pending cabinet since the old ministers will be many in the cabinet. Tinkasimire, speaking to journalists at parliament, said that the majority of NRM members are with high expectations of being ministers and they might end up collapsing once missing on cabinet list. He advises them to concentrate more on serving people who elected them to parliament than thinking about ministerial posts. Tinkasimire says that the President’s loyal old ministers will resurface in the new cabinet list.

Tinkasiimire also asked President Yoweri Museveni to take  action against  UNRA officials who diverted the authority’s  funds. The commission of inquiry into mismanagement of the Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) in a report released showed that  4 trillion shillings was lost in seven years through dubious deals, notably through collusion between its own staff and contractors; inflating cost of road projects; and delayed action on recommendations listed in the Auditor General’s reports. Tinkansimire says it’s upon Museveni to prove his talk on fighting corruption or leave the implicated to be scot free like others who are in government.
