5 NUP MPs Suspended From Parliament – See The Shocking Thing Bobi Wine’s Legislators Did

The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Thomas Tayebwa has suspended five National Unity Platform Members of parliament from attending plenary sitting for three days and these include; Betty Nambooze (Mukono Municipality), Joyce Bagala (Mityana DWR), Derrick Nyeko (Makindye East), Frank Kabuye (Kassanda South) and Francis Zaake (Mityana Municipality).

The decision followed the disagreement among the legislators on playing the videos of arresting the National Unity Platform Principal Robert Kyagulanyi on his return from South Africa and his supporters on the Independence Day as they organized a national prayer day.

Francis Zaake’s discipline at Parliament has been disgusting as last week he was referred to Parliament’s Rules, Privileges, and Discipline Committee for allegedly making derogatory remarks against Juliet Kyinyamatama which many opposition legislators protested the move.

Earlier today, a section of Makerere University students from Rakai District had asked Parliament to subject Francis Zaake (Mityana Municipality) to a mental health test, saying the irrational, improper, impractical and unprofessional conduct of Zaake doesn’t speak of someone in a good mental state.

However, during the plenary sitting Jonathan Odur (Erute South) suspected plain clothed security operatives at Chambers of Parliament and raised alarm about their presence, claiming they were seen carrying firearms, yet these are not allowed inside Parliament.

“I have been in this Parliament in the past and during the short break, I have seen people who aren’t MPs and they are carrying firearms, it brings my memory to what happened during age limit would you guide that whoever is carrying a pistol to retreat back and allow MPs exercise their rights freely,” Odur alarmed.

Additionally, the Parliament’s Rules Privileges and Discipline Committee has set Friday, October 20 as the commencement date for inquiring into allegations leveled against the Mityana Member of Parliament (MP) Mr Francis Zaake about the defamatory statements he is said to have made against the Rakai Woman, MP Ms Juliet Kinyamatama on Independence Day.

Speaking to KFM this afternoon minutes after caucusing with colleagues on the committee about the schedule, the chairperson of the committee, Mr Abdu Katuntu indicated that the probe will commence on Friday.
