Reaga Okumu, Chairman of the Committee

Okumu made the demand while contributing during the orientation of MPS on Rules of procedure at parliament.

He said that the five army mps should sit on the opposition side and others on the Nrm party side since they were accepted in parliament as listening posts are not supposed to belong to any party.

He said that it will be a bad image if the Army MPS on one side of parliament which is following the multiparty democracy.

The Member of Parliament for Kalungu West Gonzaga Sewungu said that the Army should be gazetted with the uniform they should dress while coming to parliament to avoid making MPS uncomfortable with a uniform they use some time while brutalizing the people during demonstration.

The Army has 10 MPS in parliament more than other special interest groups which have 5 MPS and others include Person living with Disability (PWDs), workers MPS, Youth MPS and district women MPS.
