The Attorney General, Peter Nyombi has said the resolutions passed by Parliament asking Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi and Internal affairs minister, Hillary Onek to step aside are not binding.

In the resolutions passed by the House last month, the MPs demanded that the two ministers step down to give room for investigations into claims that they received bribes from oil companies.

Hon Nyombi told the mps today that the resolution lacked legal backing hence can not hold, insisting that the two accused did not be guilty of contempt of parliament by refusing to step down.

Earlier this week, Mbabazi and Onek gave the same vies, saying that their refusal to bow down to calls for resignation are not tantamount to contempt of Parliament.

In their views, there is no provision in the laws on contempt of Parliament hence no reason for them to step aside.
