“We borrow more than Shs 7 trillion annually to pay salaries of government employees and to fund other recurrent expenditure. That is partly what has kept interest rates high because private people are competing with the government. As a central bank governor, he has been the regime’s principal economic advisor and he takes a big share of the blame for its failed economic policies. The Bank of Uganda was turned into a Museveni wallet” he said.
Amuriat also took a jab at the government’s failure to create better health services to its citizenry since Mutebire passed away in a Nairobi-based hospital.
He added that the fallen banker did not have to die in office since he has been unwell for a longtime.
Mutebire’s body is expected in the country today and his burial is expected to take place at Kololo Independence grounds with President Museveni as the chief mourner.
