Mr Job Richard Matua was yesterday grilled by Parliament’s Select Committee probing the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) saga for making contradicting statements on his relationship with Gender minister Betty Amongi.
Mr Matua is a saver with the Fund and a petitioner in the saga.
On December 14, 2022, he wrote to Ms Amongi requesting documents concerning the alleged mismanagement at the Fund and a day later on December 15, 2022, he received a response from her, including attached confidential documents for his perusal.
While interfacing with the Committee chaired by Mr Mwine Mpaka (Mbarara City South), Mr Matua said Ms Amongi had referred him to a Parliament document termed the Hansard that contained remarks of a statement she made on the floor of Parliament on January 19, 2023, so as to get additional information on the NSSF saga.
“How did the minister refer you to the Hansard and presentation way before she had even presented it? How does that relate?” Mr Karim Masaba (Industrial Division, Mbale City) asked.
Mr Amos Kankunda (Rwampara County) also tasked Mr Matua to clarify on the matter.
