Members of Parliament have criticized the Electoral Commission for delaying the gazettement of Luyimbazi Elias Nalukoola, the National Unity Platform candidate who won the recent Kawempe North by-election, preventing him from being sworn in.
The matter was raised during a plenary sitting chaired by Speaker Anita Among yesterday by Kira Municipality MP, Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda.
In response, Speaker Among explained that Parliament could only swear in an elected MP after receiving an official gazette from the Electoral Commission.
Her remarks triggered an emotional response from Rt. Hon. Joel Ssenyonyi, the Leader of the Opposition who condemned the EC’s conduct. END
