Fire Interrupts (COSASE) Meeting
By Admin
The Parliamentary
Committee on Statutory Assets and State Enterprises (COSASE) was unceremoniously
brought to a halt, after fire broke in the ceiling of the Committee room forcing
Committee members and witnesses out for safety of their lives.
The committee which
was chaired by Makindye east MP Ibrahim Kasozi had sat this morning to hear
from members of the board in charge of the custodian board when eventually smoke
started coming out of the fluorescent lamp in the ceiling.
When contacted for a comment
over the incident, the Communications Director for Parliament Mr. Chris Obore
confirmed that it was short circuit but said there was no fire.
He said that there was no fire but just a socket that got burnt which was removed and removed..
The Committee was
supposed to discuss issues concerning the operations of the board in relation
to the sale and management of properties of Asians who fled the country during
Amin’s ‘Economic War.”
