In August, Premier Robinah Nabbanja was touring Kasese in the aftermath of floods and was shocked at the substandard relief items she was meant to distribute to those affected by the floods.
“Kasese District is not a dumping ground, I have rejected blankets and mosquito nets because they are substandard. The supplier must bring good ones, these are the things that paint a bad image for our government,” Ms Nabbanja said on Tuesday, shortly after arriving in the district.
She later ordered a probe into the mess.
