The National Resistance Movement (NRM) secretariat has promised to refund Shs 63.7 million that was allegedly embezzled by party officials in Luwero district during the recent village youth committee elections. In June, the NRM disbursed the funds to facilitate its flagbearers in the June 19 youth committee polls. Each flagbearer was supposed to receive Shs 10,000 for transport, while sub-county youth chairpersons were allocated Shs 50,000 and registrars Shs 100,000 for mobilisation. Moses Majwega, NRM youth chairperson in Luwero, said many recipients were left empty-handed despite the money being disbursed. During the 2021 general elections, Shs 29 million meant for NRM flagbearers for district councillor seats was similarly stolen by party executives.
