Uganda: MPs Receive Shs300 Million Car Grant, Want More. . .
Members of Parliament on Thursday received Shs300 million each as a car grant, but the payment has triggered questions within the House after legislators noted that the amount was lower than what had been approved. The money was deposited directly into the accounts of all MPs, including ex-officio members. However, information obtained by Nile Post indicates that the Parliamentary Commission had budgeted Shs315 million for each of the more than 550 legislators, leaving an apparent shortfall of Shs15 million per MP.

The discrepancy quickly became a subject of discussion on the MPs' WhatsApp platform, where legislators sought clarification from the Clerk to Parliament, Adolf Mwesigwa.
