I have already instructed my team to ensure that this is provided for in the first batch of the release…. So, by expiry of July, we shall all be happy. Here I am also interested, because I am also part of you, colleagues,” Musasizi said, adding: “…for the benefit of the new members, I have been at the forefront for fighting for welfare of all members of Parliament, including exempting the allowances for MPs from taxes. I am the one who single-handedly fought this war. You should really clap for me for that. Because by now, instead of going to Ntungamo, you would be stopping in Mbarara if we were to take away 40% from you as tax.”Members of the 12th Parliament are each set to receive UGX 315 million.
