The national resistance movement party has made several attempts to save its candidate in the Bukoto South by election, Alintuma Nsambu who is implicated in the National ID saga.
Nsambu who was the state minster for information communication technology was last week indicted in a report by the defence and internal affairs committee for his role in the illegal procurement of a German company Malbhauer technology company limited.
In its report, the committee said Nsambu’s trip to Germany should be investigated as he was claiming it was funded by his ministry yet his successor Nyombi Thembo said when he appeared before the committee that the ministry does not know anything about Nsambu’s trip.
Thembo has since changed his position and wrote a letter to the committee chairman Milton Mawumu on July 9, that after consultations with in the ministry, he discovered that Nsambu was funded by the ministry.
Sources from cabinet have said a cabinet meeting yesterday resolved to exonerate all the individuals implicated in the report saying that there was no money lost. Today’s plenary session in the house has been cancelled because the NRM MPs are in a caucus meeting to absolve Nsambu and others who include former internal affairs minister Kirunda Kivejinja, internal affairs ministry permanent secretary Stephen Kagoda and foremer attorney General Khiddu Makubuya.
The National id project attracted public attention last year when the contracted company Malbhauer failed to deliver Ids to Ugandans. It later emerged through Igara East MP Michael Mawanda that the company was dubiously contracted which led parliament to task the defence and internal affairs committee to investigate the project.
