Attempt to block passing
In attempting to block the second reading of the Bill they said was unconstitutional and brought in bad faith, Buganda MPs lost on every point—blaming their woes on Speaker Edward Ssekandi whom they accused of siding with the NRM. Others accused NRM MPs of pocketing Shs20 million “bribe” to rush the passing of the Bill.
Up went the hands but several opposition MPs rose on points of procedure, asking the motive behind rushing the Bill even after the Attorney General Prof Khiddu Makubuya warned the government in a November 17 letter to President Museveni to go slow on a Bill he said was unconstitutional.
