The Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Anita Among has declined to remove Kira Municipality MP Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda from his position as Forum for Democratic Change FDC whip in Parliament after a section of legislators petitioned the House asking to halt the changes.
The MPs accused FDC secretary general, Nandala Mafabi of taking the decision without consulting the party’s National Executive Committee NEC.
In her August 16th letter, Among asks Nandala to provide evidence of the meeting he held with FDC MPs agreeing to sack Ssemujju as their whip in Parliament. The Speaker further asked the FDC party leadership to address the issues raised in the MPs’ petition.
Among has thus declined to remove Ssemujju from his position as FDC whip until the party leadership resolves the matters raised in the petition.
