Legislators on the Government Assurance Committee that is mandated to monitor government pledges to the public have accused the Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi of undermining parliament.

Committee vice chairperson Nabilah Nagayi Ssempala says this is not the first time he has failed to turn up when called to explain how government was fulfilling the pledges it made to Ugandans.

Sempala also expressed disappointment that the prime minister does not even respond to the committee invitations.

She says they have now resolved to write to Mbabazi reminding him of the House rules of procedure before they invoke rule 195 which will force him to appear before the committee.
