With the 9th parliament ready to start work with this time led by a female speaker from the ruling NRM party, leading opposition party Forum for Democratic Change is urging the speaker to distance herself from the rulling party organs in order to serve as an impartial Speaker.
The Vice President of FDC Proscovia Salam Musumbais says Hon. Rebecca Kadaga should relinquish her post in the NRM party to enable her lead the house in a neutral way.
Speaking to reporters today, Musumba says, the 9th parliament has to show a difference from the 8th parliament by serving the interests of Ugandans and not those of the party and this can be reached onto if the speaker is impartial.
Musumba also challenges the opposition to be bold and stand by their decision as they take on members of the NRM in the house.
