The #UgandaParliamentExhibition reveals a troubling cultural phenomenon: politicians across the divide shamelessly appropriate public resources for private gain. This highlights the politics of redistribution through privatization.

@alninja12 @TonyNatif @PublicSquareEA To some extent yes we should be held accountable especially if the “dubious” nature of the contract is plainly oblivious. But the questions put to us should always be of a legal nature… but I agree we must also be logical.
