The speaker of parliament Anitah Among has affirmed her intentions to negotiate with the Special Forces Command to eliminate mandatory COVID-19 tests and the confiscation of MPs’ phones and iPads when attending events involving President Museveni.
This announcement follows increasing dissatisfaction among MPs over the stringent protocols that are viewed as inconvenient and unnecessary.
During this afternoon parliamentary session, Kalungu West MP Joseph Ssewungu raised concerns about the continued imposition of COVID-19 testing for MPs and the seizure of their electronic devices during state functions. Speaker Among acknowledged these concerns and promised to address them with the SFC, emphasizing the need for MPs to use their iPads for parliamentary work. END
