According to Civil Society Budget Advocacy Group (CSBAG), only about sixty three (63) Members of Parliament (MPs) have so far returned the Shs20m they received as COVID-19 facilitation.
The national legislature has a total of 458 MPs altogether, but as of May 8th 2020, Shs1,249,000,000 had been returned and Shs8,751,000,000 was yet to be returned.
CSBAG assures the press that their research is based on collections by their field officers, news reports, and some MPs who have contacted them.
