"Rt Honorable Speaker, I'm told part of the reason we had the Kiteezi landfill collapse is corruption in @KCCAUG . Mr Speaker, we (MPs) don't even know the budget for this @Parliament_Ug. But I'm told there is a huge budget for Parliament to move around and hold plenary sessions in four regions. Mr Speaker, can we act exemplary by sacrificing that budget to help the victims of Kiteezi!?" - Aringa South County MP Yorke Alioni Odria #MonitorUpdates
