The Leader of Opposition in Parliament (LOP), Joel Ssenyonyi has cleared the air about the rumors circulating that he recently received a sh600m service award.
Ssenyonyi says those are merely allegations intended to tarnish his image in interest of covering the truth about the monies which were instead released to former LOP and commissioner of Parliament, Mathias Mpuuga and other commissioners.

He however said that instead, the money was channeled through the parliamentary SACCO so as to avoid having a clear paper trail.
“This money, apparently, was intended to see them through the campaign season. These leaders, through their agents, have been spreading propaganda in the past few days that I was also given a service award,” Ssenyonyi said.
He added; “This is completely false, and it is meant to be a cover up for this second service award that the Commissioners gave themselves.”
“Even if they quietly send any such money to my account, I will instruct my bank to immediately return it to the sender…because such under-the-table money is illegal and irregular in every sense of the word!”
