Opposition Members of Parliament are against the Shs350 million (Ksh13 million) that has been proposed for bedding, clothes and footwear at the State House.

The money has been allocated under the Annual Budget Estimates for the Financial Year 2023/2024.
Led by the Shadow Minister Finance, Mr Muwanga Kivumbi and Kira Municipality legislator, Mr Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda who presented the Minority Report together, the legislators rejected some of the proposals in the Majority Report presented on the Floor by the Budget Committee Chairperson, Mr Patrick Isiagi Opolot (Kachumbala County).

“There is Shs350 million to buy clothes. The same amount was provided last year. This means, we are spending on average Shs1 million on President’s clothes every day,” Mr Ssemujju said while referring to the Minority Report.

“Our President is not a star from Hollywood requiring to change [his] wardrobe every day. He is a president of a poor country. Why buy him clothes worth Shs350 million (Ksh13 million) every year? What happened to the clothes that we bought last year?” Mr Ssemujju added.

In the proposed budget for the Financial Year 2023/24, an amount of Shs239 billion (Ksh8.8 billion) has been provided for State House. The legislators proposed the reduction of the State House Budget by Shs82 billion (Ksh3 billion).

“….How on earth can we provide Shs43 billion (Ksh1.6 billion) for ceremonies when the road network in the capital city has broken down. The money for ceremonies should be spent on repairing roads in Kampala and Wakiso,” Mr Ssemujju said.

The legislators drew attention to other items being funded under State House, including furniture that has been allocated with Shs600 million (Ksh22 million) and veterinary Services (Shs 184 million(Ksh6.8 million)) among other items.
