In a statement read by Charles Mary Mbanga, the Chairperson of Masaka NUP Elders Council, the leaders accuse the Party President of acting on falsehoods perpetrated by a clique of individuals that deliberately misrepresent facts to malign Mpuuga over selfish interests.
Chris Obore, the Director of Communication and Public Affairs at Parliament said that the institution was not aware of such transactions and instead advised the National Unity Platform to interest the accountability Committees in the matter with evidence for action if indeed there has been any such payment by Parliament to MPs outside known procedure.
