Ugandan Speaker Orders Audit of Treasury Over Controversial Loan

The Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga has asked for a special audit of Treasury accounts to establish how and where U.S.$200 million was spent, after a parliamentary report that said Finance Minister Matia Kasaija should be censured. Kadaga said parliament needed to understand a controversial loan procured by the ministry to fund the National Medical Stores but which was later diverted for other purposes.
