Kasami Rogers Mike a Ugandan Presidential aspirant has remained tough against corrupt government officials and politicians.
He wants the Members of the Ugandan Parliament who did not sign the on-going censure motion against the commissioners of Parliament to be voted out in the next elections.
“we have elections in 2026, let the voters check the list of their MPs and see those that did not support the Lwemiyaga County MP, Theodore Ssekikubo censure motion to be dropped in the next elections” Kasami said.
Lwemiyaga County MP, Theodore Ssekikubo has gathered all the signatures required to support the censure motion against the four commissioners implicated in the controversial allocation of Sh1.7 billion ‘service pay’.
Ssekikubo’s censure motion is highly supported by many Ugandans who are tired of corruption.
Kasami said in recent years, Uganda has faced significant challenges in governance and public administration.
“Reports of corruption, misuse of public funds, and lack of accountability have become all too common. These issues have not only hindered our economic progress but have also damaged the trust between the government and the people it serves” he added
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it but we must wake up and fight, he added.”
So, we (voters of Ugandan) should punish these legislators who did not support the censure motion” Kasami added.
“As representatives elected to serve the people, you hold a sacred trust. You are the stewards of our nation’s future, responsible for ensuring that our laws and policies reflect the highest standards of integrity and justice. It is imperative that we confront and address the systemic issues that allow plunder and corruption to flourish” he said.
Kasami said the institutions tasked with upholding integrity and justice in Uganda are currently dysfunctional; their independence has been compromised, and their effectiveness has been severely undermined.
A Call for Institutional Independence;
We urge you to take the following steps to ensure that our governance institutions are truly independent and effective:
- *Legislative Reforms:* Introduce and support legislative measures that guarantee the independence of key governance institutions. This includes insulating these bodies from political interference and ensuring they have the autonomy to execute their mandates.
- *Adequate Resourcing:* Advocate for sufficient funding and resources for institutions like the IGG, PPDA, UHRC, OAG, and NCDC. Adequate resourcing is critical for these bodies to function effectively and independently.
- *Strengthening Oversight:* Establish robust oversight mechanisms to monitor and evaluate the performance of governance institutions. This includes regular audits, public reporting, and accountability measures to ensure transparency and effectiveness.
- *Public Engagement:* Foster greater public engagement and participation in governance processes. Encourage citizens to report corruption and hold their leaders accountable. Strengthening civic education and awareness can empower citizens to be active participants in promoting integrity and justice.
- *International Collaboration:* Seek support and collaboration with international organizations and partners to bolster the capacity and independence of Uganda’s governance institutions. Learning from global best practices can enhance the effectiveness of these bodies.
