By Martha Nakimuli and Agencies

More three donor countries have  asked the Ugandan Government to return their funds  over its misuse by government officials.

The three countries are Denmark,Norway and Sweden .They were among other countries which   froze their aid to Uganda last year  after the  scandal involving the misuse of PRDP funds in the Office of the Prime Minister was unveiled .

AFP said Norway is asking for a partial refund of the donation since its aid was paid into a special account that made it easier to identify fraudulent transactions.
