The leader of opposition says that his members betrayed the opposition cause over the  passed  constitutional amendments bill 2015. He says that they agreed to vote against the bill but his members had selfish interests when they reached on the floor of parliament and decided otherwise. He said that he will report them to their respective political parties so as action is taken against them.

Ogutu said that for the FDC MPs, he is waiting for the party president to return from campaigns for the decision to be taken. He however says that money could have changed hands because there was gossip going on that that some MPs were given money prior to the passing of the bill.

He says that he is disappointed by the conduct of the opposition and NRM MPs in rejecting the views of Ugandans on electoral reforms and constitutional amendment. He claims that he even saw one Member of Parliament in the chamber with big sums of money while MPs where debating the bill.

He further says that as members in the Democratic Alliance will discuss on Thursday this week all what transpired in parliament during the passing of this bill and tell the country what next. Aruu county MP Samuel Odonga Otto says that by their opposition whip commanding them on how to vote is a kind of intimidation and as the opposition their role is not to reject everything from Government.

Mukono Municipality MP Betty Nambooze says that the leader of Opposition in Parliament Wafula Oguttu should resign for misguiding the members during yesterday’s controversial vote on the constitutional amendment bill 2015. Nambooze says that the Constitutional Amendment Bill would not have passed if the opposition members were well coordinated. She says the opposition leadership in parliament sent mixed messages that left members confused on which particular way to vote or act to fail the passing of the unfair constitutional amendments.

The vocal member cites that whereas the Leader of Opposition had called for walking out of parliament in protest, the Opposition Chief Whip Cecilia Ogwal asked members to vote against the Bill although she changed her position at the time of voting. The seemingly demoralized Nambooze said that yesterday’s reaction by the opposition members is a big blow to Ugandans who had hope in them.
