Kampala \u2014 Uganda no longer owes any money to the Burundi government, according to its former counsel, Mr Jehoash Sendege.<\/p>\n
In a letter to Daily Monitor delivered on December 10, Mr Sendege stated that the government paid all the money through Picfare Industries Ltd, contrary to what was reported by the paper on December 9.<\/p>\n
“I wish to strongly protest and state categorically that I did not and could not have made such statements because I know that the government of Uganda no longer owes any money to the Burundi government.”<\/p>\n
Mr Sendege, said he was invited to appear before the Public Accounts Committee as a witness and not the lawyer for the Burundian government. “The story gives the impression that I was appearing as counsel for Burundi. That is completely wrong.<\/p>\n
The truth is that I was summoned and I appeared before the committee as a witness for the committee and not as counsel for Burundi,” said Mr Sendege. He said he also never made any submission to the committee on the matter but asked for more time to prepare his submission.<\/p>\n
