The Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development is seeking Parliament's approval a supplementary budget of Shs 2 Billion that was used to renovate Gaddafi National Mosque, despite a recent court order putting up the property for sale in order to facilitate the recovery of Shs19Bn loan the Muslim leadership had procured from businessman Justus Kyahabwa.

The details are contained in the Shs3.5Trn supplementary budget laid before Parliament by Henry Musasizi, Minister of State For Finance in which Gov't is seeking for Parliamentary approval of Shs1.574 Trillion spent within the 3% legal limit before Parliamentary approval and Shs1.926Trn prior to approval of Parliament.

Gov't through Uganda Development Corporation agreed to give to businessman Sudhir Ruparelia Shs37Bn, for the construction of Munyonyo Convention Centre to replace planned UDB loan. This money will be an addition to the Shs86.4Bn he had earlier received this year for this same project.

Gov't is also seeking for Shs9.467Bn to inject in Soroti Fruit Factory, despite the same Government making pronouncements to sell the factory to a private investor due to mismanagement.
