Kampala Central MP Daudi Kabanda has ignited fresh controversy after questioning the reported allocation of Shs75 billion to a coffee-related initiative associated with President Museveni’s son-in-law, Odrek Rwabwogo.
Kabanda wondered why such a huge amount of taxpayers’ money would be spent on what he described as efforts to teach Ugandans how to drink coffee, arguing that public funds should be directed toward projects with clear and measurable benefits.
While stressing that he respects President Museveni’s position on family matters, Kabanda maintained that anyone involved in government programs or the use of public resources must be subject to public scrutiny and accountability.
The outspoken legislator said his concerns were aimed at protecting the image of both the government and the ruling NRM, adding that criticism should not be mistaken for hostility.
His remarks have fueled debate over government spending, transparency, and the role of influential individuals in public programs. Supporters say he is raising legitimate accountability concerns, while critics argue the comments could deepen political tensions.
The controversy is expected to keep attracting public attention as questions continue over the use of public funds and the effectiveness of government-backed initiatives.
