I convened an impromptu meeting of the Opposition Caucus following irregular passing of the controversial motion for Gov't to acquire shares in Roko Construction Company Ltd. The previous evening, we brought to light everything bad about the plan and the matter was stood over 1/ ImageImageImageImage
Shockingly, the speaker who was in chair this afternoon blatantly abused the Parliamentary Rules of Procedure and smuggled the matter onto the Order Paper, playing the roles of Finance Minister, Chairperson of the Finance Committee and at the same time, Speaker! 2/ ImageImageImageImage
As representatives of the people, we are not going to let this scandal to go unchallenged. We will announce our next steps in the coming days. #AccountabilityAndService ImageImageImage
To understand how all this unfolded, watch our Minister for Finance @KivumbiMuwanga presenting the Minority Report to @Parliament_Ug on Wednesday, July 20. Here's the link
Also watch my submission on the same matter on Wednesday. Following our submissions, the Speaker @AnitahAmong adjourned the House with some directives that the Executive had to meet for the motion to be entertained again. Here's the link
