President Yoweri Museveni jokes during a press conference 25 November 2007 in Kampala after Commonwealth leaders called on Pakistan on Sunday to remain engaged with the group as they wrapped up a summit here that saw the suspension of President Pervez Musharraf's country. When President Yoweri Museveni paid for a 48-million-dollar new private jet using public funds, but without parliament's prior nod, it did not come as a surprise to many Ugandans. Presidential spending has grown increasingly extravagant throughout Museveni�s 23-year reign, says Nandala Mafabi, an opposition lawmaker who heads a parliamentary public accounts committee.
