The Government through the Minister of Security has confirmed that a statement regarding the 18 people who are reported to have missed is going to be presented to the house on Wednesday 29th November 2023. This was communicated by the Speaker of Parliament Rt Hon Anita Among and confirmed by the Vice President H.E Jesca Alupo today afternoon.
“As you may recall, on the 19th October 2023, the Presiding Officer granted Executive 30 days to respond to matters raised by the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament regarding various Human Rights Issues. While the 30 days elapsed on the 19th of November, I received notification of the absence of the relevant Ministers. I accordingly differed the presentation of the Statement. I now take this opportunity to direct the Executive to cause the presentation of the Statement tomorrow. All Members are accordingly notified” Speaker Among while addressing the house.
This happened after three weeks of absence from the house by a section of Members of Parliament led by the Leader of Opposition in Parliament the Hon Mathias Mpuuga. The communication marks the end of the boycott by these legislators which means that normalcy should return
