Govt Clarifies State House Employees’ Salary
On Tuesday 8 July, a document purportedly showing the salary structure of State House employees’ salary made rounds on social that culminated into the #PayMe96Mn with Ugandans expressing pouring out their hearts on the humongous figures on the list.
Now, the Uganda government spokesperson, Ofwono Opondo says Members of Parliament received the accurate figures on their ipads but some decided to ignore the accurate version.
The list that leaked on Tuesday showed that the most paid employee earns a whooping Shs96m hence the hash tag #PayMe96Mn. However, Ofwono Opondo clarified this saying there was an error in uploading the original list adding that “The inaccuracy was not intended to mislead parliament”
Earlier, Linda Nabusayi Presidential Deputy Press Secretary in the Office of the president said the list that made rounds on social media on Tuesday “Was just an alarm by those with own motives”
Deborah Katuramu, the Secretary in the Office of the President also issued a statement further clarifying the matter.
