Kadaga blasts Minister Kasaija over private members' bills

The Minister of Finance Matia Kasaija is on the spot for allegedly frustrating Parliament business by clamping down on private members’ bills.

The anomaly was unearthed by the Speaker Rebecca Kadaga while presiding over House business yesterday afternoon.

The Speaker said that the Ministry has resorted to deliberately denying MPs certificates of financial implications with the intent to kill debate.

This, she says will not be entertained starting this month.

One of the bills is the Local Content Bill by tabled Kasanda North MP Patrick Nsamba.
