“You cannot say that you have Shs158 billion to purchase cars for MPs and then claim that you do not have Shs 28 billion to pay medical interns’ allowances, with the excuse that it would crush the economy. By the way, doctors are rarely in the hospitals. It is the medical interns who are everywhere doing the donkey work,” Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu

@DrSerunjogiEmma what is the interest rate? I'm interested in using a proxy to help me get one

[Ronald Amanyire @amronaldo]

Sometimes it feels as though we must have offended God somehow. How else can one explain a government that behaves like a man with many wives, lavishing affection and resources on a few while neglecting the rest?

Medical interns are not students; they are doctors in training, and in Uganda, they actually work as doctors NOT in training, treating patients daily and saving lives. Yet, they remain at the bottom of government priorities. How can a nation fail to prioritize those who heal its people, while pouring billions into an oversized Cabinet, an inflated Parliament, and a bloated RDC structure? Because this is not an issue for Ministry Health to sort alone. It must be deliberately managed from @mofpedU by @rggoobi.

Some of these doctors pay the ultimate price for their service. The late Dr. Matthew Lukwiya, who died in 2000 after contracting Ebola while treating patients at Lacor Hospital, stands as a symbol of sacrifice and national duty.

In 2021, the President directed that medical interns be paid UGX 2.5 million per month, translating to an annual cost of about UGX 67 billion. Yet even that directive was not implemented because interns now receive UGX 1.3 million, costing roughly UGX 40 billion annually.

One of the things that frustrates me most is that I could look at any Ministerial Policy Statements and find this money. Seriously, I can.

Contrast that with the government’s spending priorities:
- RDCs and Assistant RDCs:  UGX 1.2 to 1.3 Trillion annually
-Cabinet: UGX 550 billion annually
-Parliament: UGX 1.35 trillion annually

We have also lost our moral responsibilities. A government that underpays its doctors while rewarding political excess cannot claim to serve its people. Uganda’s budget priorities reveal a system that values political survival over public health, and prestige over productivity. The Commissioner from Ministry of Health even contradicts himself that interns will be treated as students but then in the 6th Year they will require practicing licenses.

AND YES ALL OF THIS IS BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION EMBEDDED WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT AND ITS SYSTEMS AS A WHOLE. @mkainerugaba @TheUMAofficial @KagutaMuseveni.

@DrSerunjogiEmma Very important for all young people to push

[Joel Ssenyonyi @JoelSsenyonyi]

This is a legitimate concern, especially because it involves tax payers' money.
Firstly, the LOP's budget caters to opposition MPs and staff, unlike the Speaker and Deputy Speaker who don't have MPs under them.
So contrary to what some believe, the budget for the office of LOP is not money that goes to the pocket of the office bearer. If anything, I don't even have control over that budget, the Speaker has to always clear any activities that we propose to do as the Opposition, and sometimes she doesn't give clearance even if it's budgeted for.

The Speaker controls the budgets of all departments and committees of Parliament. Even when committees have money budgeted for them, many times the money is used elsewhere by the institution and therefore not availed to the particular committee. Likewise, the LOP's budget is not under the LOP's control.

Some time recently as the Opposition we planned to execute some activities which were budgeted for, but the Finance department told us the money was not available, eventhough on paper(budget) it was. I wrote to the Clerk to Parliament as the Accounting Officer, asking him what happened to the resources since we had not utilized them. He wrote back to me explaining that the Speaker had directed for the usage of that money for different Parliament activities which I didn't even know about, and this is a concern I have raised severally regarding the operations at Parliament.
So that 4.2bn budget is in the real sense not under my control.
