KAMAPALA: The Deputy Speaker, Thomas Tayebwa has said that Parliament will soon take action against accounting officers who do not implement recommendations in the Auditor General’s report.
Tayebwa made the pronouncement while receiving the Auditor General’s Report for the financial year 2023/2024 on Wednesday, 15 January 2025.
“Accounting officers who have not taken action to implement recommendations of the Auditor General are going to face it rough with us during the budgeting process. We cannot continue sitting and making declarations and they are not implemented,” Tayebwa said.
He said that chairpersons of the sectoral committees will be guided on how to hold the officers accountable.
Tayebwa also urged the Auditor General, Edward Akol to investigate and take action against alleged procurement of audit opinions in local governments.
“We request you to fight that corruption. It is known in local councils where they say it openly during meetings that part of the money was used to pay for audit opinions. Let us give the audit function the serious attention it deserves,” he said.
