National Unity Platform- NUP has asked the government to stop the selective approach to the law and ensure that all individuals implicated in the iron sheets scandal are prosecuted.


Yesterday, Minister for Karamoja Affairs Mary Gorreti Kittutu and her brother Michael Naboya appeared before the Court presided over by Chief Magistrate Joan Achiro and were remanded to jail for their respective roles in diverting 14,500 pre-painted iron sheets intended for the Karamoja Community Empowerment Program.

Kitutu was the first suspect to be charged despite other top government officials being implicated in the diversion of the iron sheets.

Speaking at the NUP party Headquarters in Kamwokya, David Lewis Rubongoya, the party Secretary General said they condemn the failure by the state to prosecute other government officials implicated in corruption scandals. 

Joel Ssenyonyi, the NUP Spokesperson said that many other government officials have confessed that they took the iron sheets meant for Karamoja therefore all of them should be charged.
