issues they have refused to meet them.

Boinapally Venugopal, a Director of Dot Services, says if UNRA wishes to blacklist the company, they should pay for the work done and for those claimed poor roads claimed to have cracks it was caused by heavy trucks carrying goods from Tororo cement and Kenya which UNRA never monitored.

However, the committee was not impressed with the petition as it did not specifically spell out how they wanted parliament to assist them which prompted Katuntu to adjourn to next week to enable them indicate their prayers and also remove all those contracts that are before the court.

The Member of Parliament for Bunyole East County in Butaleja district , Moses Musamba, who forwarded the petition before parliament on behalf of Dott Services says that Dott services is going to work on the recommendations of Parliament.
