Goats. Cows. Shs10b. You could be forgiven for thinking that we are talking matters livestock but cows and goats precisely sum up the goings on in Parliament this week.
Ugandans, long indifferent to countless episodes about graft, were particularly baffled by revelations from Parliament’s Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises (COSASE) that Burahya County MP Margaret Muhanga had sold cows and goats to raise a staggering Shs10b to buy 23 acres of prime land from Uganda Broadcasting Corporation (UBC).
Ms Muhanga’s revelation, that she paid the Shs10b in cash, baffled all and sundry, triggering hashtags and memes on social media poking fun at the controversy.
