The party has no budget, trading arm or known financiers
Seven years after the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) was registered as a political party, it has no annual budget nor a clear financial system to guide expenditures on its activities.
The NRM’s Deputy Spokesman Ofwono Opondo’s insistence that the party has an annual budget is promptly shot down by the admission of another senior party official that indeed they don’t have any.
“No, we don’t have that (budget) and I have never had a budget for my activities – not even a shilling,” says the NRM Vice Chairman for Eastern Region and former Minister of State for Health, Capt. Mike Mukula. His assertion is corroborated by another member of the National Executive Council, who declined to be named. He says they have never discussed the party budget, a confirmation that it does not exist.
