Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, known by his stage name Bobi Wine, has returned a Sh 20 million bribe that he was awarded by the Ugandan parliament.

The Kyadondo East constituency MP on Thursday afternoon revealed that the Ugandan parliament had allocated itself Sh 10 billion, an equivalent of 2.7 million US dollars.

To silent the lawmakers, Bobi Wines says that the parliament decided to award each Member of parliament 20 million Ugandan Shillings.

The politician cum musician has condemned the move, arguing that the parliament went ahead to make the transactions without doing any consultations.

He goes ahead to cite that there was a court order that had been put to stop the transaction but it was ignored.

Bobi Wine further says that even a public outcry could not stop the parliament from going ahead with the transaction.

He has criticized the Yoweri Museveni-led government, citing that all this happened while millions of Ugandans starved and countless lost jobs due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bobi wine notes that he had returned the money and that he will not partake in a fraud so vile.

“While millions of Ugandans starved & countless lost jobs, the Parliament of Uganda allocated itself 10bn shs ($2.7m) & gave each Member 20m! Not even a court order or public outcry could stop them. Wrong & immoral! I’ve returned this money & will not partake in a fraud so vile,” he posted.
