Central Equatoria lawmakers received $300 each in medical allowances on Wednesday, a day the August House was set to impeach three state officials including the Minister of Finance who were accused of corruption, according to a spokesperson.

On Monday, the state August House Speaker Peter Wani Kulang announced he received 30,000 US dollars in medical allowances for the MPs.

Speaking to Eye Radio in an exclusive interview yesterday, Moris Andrea who is the legislature deputy spokesperson says the money was distributed uniformly.

The delivery of the Money coincided with Monday’s seating meant to impeach the Ministers of Cabinet Affairs, Finance and Housing, land, and Utilities who have been accused of exchanging public land with five vehicles.

Asked whether the cash was to disrupt the vote of no-confidence against the three state officials, Andrea said the medical allowances had nothing to do with the motion.

“This money was sent as 30, 000 United States dollars for 100 honorable members of parliament. Each member received 300 dollars and this money has nothing to do with the sitting of the parliament or the impeachment raised against the three state ministers.

“This was previously tabled by the Minister of Finance for their medication.

“My message to all the media houses is they should pick correct and accurate information from the right person instead of picking wrong information and airing it,” he said
