Parliamentarians get IT training

10th Parliament members

Parliament has embarked on training members of parliament in information technology for proper management of their emails. The training was highly attended by new members of parliament whose IT capacity is lacking in this digital time.

One of the opposition members of parliament from Bukonzo west in Kasese district John Katushabe Bwambale expressed fear that putting their name on the parliamentary website and exposing their emails may expose them to security agencies like CMI, hacking into their emails looking for secrets of some members of parliament and more. The Member of Parliament for Manjiya county in Bududa district John Baptist Nambeshe pleaded to parliament to expose the members to practical sessions of IT since most of them are still with analogue brains. He said that it is better for parliament to train them when they have Ipads.

However the Assistant Director ICT Julius Wabwire  assured members of parliament their emails are secure with parliament website and said that most of the communications are done through emails including the payment.
