By MONITOR More by this AuthorFaced with a raging moral crisis in Cabinet and a limping economy, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni heads to Parliament today (Thursday) to lay out plans for economic recovery. This as the country awaits action on ministers and other leaders mentioned in the scandal of diversion of iron sheets meant for poor people in Karamoja sub-region. The iron sheets saga has dominated headlines for weeks and captured the attention of the president, the Inspectorate of Government and Parliament. But others said that it might be inappropriate for the head of state to call a special sitting of Parliament and begin discussing a criminal case that is before the police. The last time Mr Museveni addressed a special sitting of parliament was in 2018 following the murder of one of the devoted National Resistance Movement (NRM) supporters and Arua Municipality MP Ibrahim Abiriga.
