A day after she made headlines that she had been sacked from leading the government-owned Microfinance Support Centre (MSC) Ltd on the recommendations of the IGG, Dr Specioza Kazibwe on Friday said it is only President Museveni who can sack her.
The Ex-Vice President was sent packing by Finance Minister Maria Kiwanuka on Thursday, along with another top official until investigations into their alleged mismanagement of the organization are completed.
Dr Kazibwe, speaking at the Ninth Parliament MPs induction that closed today said she had never asked for employment in the Microfinance but President Museveni begged her to occupy the office.
“I wasn’t earning any salary from there- but mere allowances,” she said.
“Let the IGG go ahead and investigate and I will be found innocent like I was in the valley dams saga…everyone saw that,” she said.
She asked that media stops saying she has been sacked but suspended because she didn’t have an employment. “I was just a volunteer”
“Only President Museveni can sack me because he is the overall appointing authority of all ministers,” Ms Kazibwe said.
