Attorney General blames Works ministry, saying the officials are yet to submit their responses on the matter and that this has made it difficult for the government to come up with a common ground on the matter. MPs have called for cancellation of SGS contract for mandatory vehicles inspection after several anomalies were found in the contract, some of which the legislators say smacks of fraud and influence peddling, among others.
Parliament has once again been forced to postpone making a decision on the fate of the mandatory vehicle inspection investigations after the Attorney General, William Byaruhanga, asked for an extension of time.
The government lawyer took to the floor of Parliament revealing how his hands have been tied, citing failure by the Ministry of Works to provide their input, before a formal position is taken over the matter.
“We have examined both the reports, and examined the agreement as well but unfortunately, the Minister of Works and Transport (Monicah Azuba) was unable to come and their the Ministry’s input and they requested I give them three days, therefore I am requesting for adjournment for a week at which point will give a position,
