Army representative in Parliament Lt. Gen Salim Saleh has resigned over allegations of corruption and abuse of office. In a letter, Saleh listed three reasons for quitting. "My first reason is the unending allegations of corruption and abuse of office, which have ranged from the bungled helicopter purchase, my role in the privatisation of former Uganda Commercial Bank to last year's allegations of plundering Congo's natural resources. All these allegations have come and passed but have left me very perturbed."
