Members of Parliament heeded to the Speaker’s request to raise shs100 million for the young performers to pay off a balance on the house they purchased. The house acts as their residence and also training centre.
The speaker requested fellow members of parliament to each surrender at least Shs250,000 off their salaries so as to bail out the Triplets Ghetto Kids from getting evicted from their house.
Kadaga made the plea during the parliamentarians End of Year Party where the popular dance group was invited to perform for the lawmakers.
She made the request to fellow members after four months since the Ghetto Kids approached her for assistance following a no reply from the head of State when she wrote to him.
“These are very talented young children; they use their talent to entertain us but it also helps them pay their school fees,” she said.
She revealed to the legislators that the children had used their earnings to acquire a property but that they faced eviction and losing it if they don’t pay the balance by 31 December.
“Members, we have supported other causes. Can we please raise shs250,000 each and ensure these children don’t lose their home,” she rallied the MPs who responded in agreement.
