URA Lawyer Moves To Block Implementation Of Oil Handshake Probe Findings

One of the beneficiaries of the controversial Presidential handshake oil cash bonanza has threatened to petition to court seeking to stop government from implementing Parliament’s findings and recommendations.

Parliament’s Committee on Commissions, Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises (COSASE) this week tabled an over-90 page report from investigations into the 6 billion shillings presidential handshake bonanza.

The committee came out with eight recommendations including the now most controversial one regarding the need to have all the 42 persons that got the money to refund it.

Parliament unanimously adopted the report saying the beneficiaries flouted the law and that they should refund it. But Ali Sekatawa, a Lawyer with Uganda Revenue Authority has vowed to challenge the matter in court.
