The minister of information and national guidance Dr. Chris Baryomunsi has welcomed the censure motion against Parliament Commissioners.
He has described the move by a section of MPs collecting signatures to censure four commissioners for alleged abuse office as a healthy process since parliament needs to be accountable to the public.
His statement comes after his colleague in cabinet, Persis Namuganza asked Ugandans to vote against any minister or Member of Parliament who refuses to sign the censure motion.
Baryomunsi has told journalists this morning that since MPs represent the masses in the house, it is good to have checks and balances within parliament.
“so if there is section of MPs who are not satisfied with the way the parliamentary commission handled or handles the affairs i think it is ok for them to move and the rules of procedure parliament provides for it” he said.
Three of the commissioners targeted by the censure motion subscribe to the ruling NRM party, while one is from the opposition.
They are Esther Afoyochan, Prossy Akampurira Solomon Silwany, and National Unity Platform (NUP)’s Mathias Mpuuga.
