What has caused a mix of reactions as parliament is under scrutiny is the millions of shillings that junior parliamentary staff receive on behalf Speaker Anita Among in the name of doing for her corporate social responsibility (CSR). Chris Obore the parliament’s director of communications has admitted to this saying the always do this because the speaker is ever busy and delegates other errands to her junior staff.

Early this week, the shadow cabinet led by the Leader of Opposition Joel Ssenyonyi urged the speaker of parliament to come out and say something about the accusations leveled against her. They also urged the speaker to recall the house from recess such that these issues are addressed.

Their counterparts from NRM [the rebel MPS] Barnabas Tinkasimire and Theodre Ssekikubo also urged the speaker to recall the house from recess to return and discuss pertinent issues at hand as the country is seeing MPs as thieves.

“We can’t now walk with our heads high on the streets of Kampala, we smuggle ourselves and bold out. It isn’t now the best time to be identified as MPs. We are all bundled up, nobody is giving answers, should we all go by rollcall, not me, not me? We are all being castigated and we look bad in the eyes of the public,” said Theodore Ssekikuubo Lwemiyaga County.
