Ugandan businessman and media personality Frank Gashumba has voiced frustration over corruption and the alleged misuse of public funds, saying it hurts him to see taxpayers’ money lost through poor accountability.
Speaking during a radio interview, Gashumba claimed he personally pays more than UGX 3.6 billion in taxes annually and questioned why citizens continue to struggle when public resources are meant to improve services.
“I feel so much pain whenever I see people stealing taxpayers’ money. I personally pay over UGX 3.6 billion in taxes every year, but all that money is stolen,” Gashumba said.
He argued that taxpayers deserve to see their contributions reflected in better hospitals, schools, roads, and other public services. He called on leaders and accountability institutions to take tougher action against officials accused of corruption.
Gashumba also urged Balaam Barugahara, the State Minister for Youth Affairs, to pursue individuals involved in corruption at district level without fear or favour.
His remarks have sparked debate among Ugandans, with many calling for stronger measures to protect public funds and ensure accountability among government officials.(For adverts, inquiries news, send us a message on +211929244599)
