Deputy speaker of parliament Jacob Oulanya has attacked members of parliament for failing to do their work. The house has sat with less than a quarter f its members for the last two weeks.
This has forced Oulanya to postpone the debate on the defence and internal affairs committee report on national identity cards. After failing to vote on the resolutions by the committee on July 11 because of lack of lack of quorum in the house, Oulanya adjourned the matter to July 12 but still there was no quorum to take decisions on the matter.
He condemned the habit and said that the MPs should stop preteding that they are fighting corruption. “and that rhetoric about fighting corruption, tell me what is corruption if not this,” the angry deputy speaker said.
The members proposed that a book be introduced in the house to register attendance. But Arua district woman MP Christine Abia said no one should be reminded to do their work.
Most members say it is because of Oulanya’s behaviour that they shun sessions he presides over. They accuse him of being dictatorial and subjective.
