The speaker of parliament Rebecca Kadaga has asked the MPs to be good time keepers as they execute their duties in the 10th parliament. She was opening a five days Post-Election Violence Conference for MPs at Grand Imperial Hotel, Kampala. Kadaga says that the 10th parliament had MPs who were poor time managers and called on the MPs as they start their duties to have a good sense of time management especially for the committees work and
training programs.
She says if the MPs indulge in time wasting this will be derailing the the work of parliament and denying Ugandans their rights to be heard in the parliament. Kadaga added that this will help the parliament attend to all important matters and perform to the expectation of the electorates.
She has called on the 10th parliament to fight against corruption, promote human rights, promote gender sensitive policy environment, advocate for the productivity especially among the youths and curb unemployment among others. She says the MPs in the 10th parliament should be role models in character, unbeatable courage, and incorrupt conduct and have self-discipline.
The speaker also called for the separation of powers from all the government Arms of governance to enable a smooth running of the business in parliament.
