Member of Parliament for Kasanda South in Mubende district, Simeo Nsubuga
Kasanda County South MP, Simeo Nsubuga, last week accused the opposition for being behind the attacks and humiliation of MPs who debate and discuss on the issue of lifting the age limit of the President.
This was during the plenary sitting in Parliament last week as he explained circumstances for his scuffle in Mubende where a one ‘Kyuma Kya Yesu’ almost roughed him up during the 25th Kabaka Ronald Mutebi’s Coronation ceremony.
Nsubuga claims that it is the opposition that is fueling such attacks accusing them of inciting the public at the rallies on their ongoing sensitization campaigns about the constitution amendment bill 2017 in regard to government forceful acquisition of land from the owners.
However, citing the example of Minister Kahinda Otafire’s incident at Namboole where he where leaders splashed with water during a Local Government meeting, the Opposition Chief Whip, Ibrahim Semujju Nganda, says the opposition cannot be accused of the growing anger amongst the public against their leaders.
Otafire was quick to respond emphasising that it is the opposition that humiliated him at Namboole especially those from FDC.
Meanwhile, Deputy Speaker, Jacob Oulanya, retaliated and cautioned MPs to desist from discussing issues in anticipation for their own safety.
The State Minister for Internal Affairs, Obiga Mario Kania, says Simeo’s incident is being investigated by police that will come with a report over it.
