The remarks were made by Annette Karungi, Head of the Bar Course at LDC, during her appearance before the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee. The LDC was invited to defend the 2024/25 ministerial policy statement. “You will appreciate that we get these students from different universities.

DP calls for amendments to parliamentary rules
The Democratic Party (DP) has called for amendments to the parliamentary rules of procedure to allow political parties to exercise greater control over their members holding parliamentary positions. This request comes after recent controversies where the National Unity Platform (NUP) leadership attempted to remove Nyendo-Mukungwe Division MP, Mathias Mpuuga, from his current role as Parliamentary Commissioner.
