Lawmakers investigating the iron sheets scandal are grumbling about Speaker Anita Among’s failure to meet them over her role in the alleged diversion of relief items meant for the vulnerable people in Karamoja Sub-region.
Ms Among, who is listed among the beneficiaries of iron sheets, has, however, not disregarded the Committee proceedings.
The Bukedea Woman MP responded in writing even as displeased Committee members quietly demanded a face- to-face meeting with the Speaker.
Addressing journalists yesterday in Kampala, the Committee chairperson, Ms Jessica Ababiku (Adjumani Woman MP) said the planned meeting with the Speaker was cancelled at the last minute after her schedule was re-adjusted to accommodate another discussion with an international guest.
Ms Among has, however, previously spoken about the iron sheets saga at Parliament where she denied any wrongdoing and acknowledged the relief items meant for vulnerable people in the north eastern region of the country ended up in her constituency, Bukedea District, out of wrong thinking.
