Kampala,Uganda: The Speaker of Uganda’s Parliament, Rt. Hon Anita Among has directed the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) to conduct an independent investigation into the utilization of shs1.9 billion allocated for the purpose of ‘coffee consumption’.

“We want to know who disbursed that money and who benefitted from it. We need that money and the person who benefitted from it must bear the liability,” she said during the plenary sitting on Thursday, 07 September 2023.

It is premised on a report by the Public Accounts Committee (Central Government) on concerns raised by the Auditor General for Financial Year 2021/2022, on 15 MDAs.

The report presented by Committee Chairperson, Hon. Medard Sseggona, indicates that as part of the NUSAF-III programme, OPM signed a two-year memorandum of understanding with M/S Inspire Africa Uganda Limited as a capacity-building partner.
