Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The Constitutional Court has quashed a decision by Speaker Anita Among to remove Mityana Municipality MP Francis Zaake from the Parliamentary Commission.
Justice Irene Mulyagonja, who delivered the lead judgment, stated, “The Deputy Speaker/Among ought to have resolved the question of her interest in the matter as soon as possible in the public interest as it is required by the Code of Conduct of Members of Parliament in the Rules. When she did not do so, she acted in conflict of interest and reflected that she was biased.”
Parliament in a statement said, ” We have received the judgement regarding Hon Zaake’s removal from the Parliamentary Commission. The judgement recognises the report of the Committee on Rules but faults the plenary process. We respect the decision of court,we will study it & act in accordance with the law.
