Accountant arrested over fraudulent transfer of 1.2billion from ministry of Health

It is not yet over. Members of parliament behind the petition to recall parliament have decided to go to the constitutional court seeking legal interpretation on the withdrawal of signatures by the members who had appended signatures on the petition.

Speaking to the press after a long closed door meeting the MPs say they have decided to go to court as the way of helping the Speaker and Parliament in making future decisions of that nature.

Last week, the Speaker turned down the petition on grounds that 10 MPs had withdrawn their signatures and one complained that his signature was forged.

They say if the decision is left without being interpreted it might affect future important decisions in parliament.

The MPs also have written to the Speaker to give them the list of those who withdrew their signatures and one that claimed forgery in order to go on with the court process.

They also noted that they will move a motion on the floor of parliament the moment parliament resumes to discuss the matters that were in the petition.

The MPs wanted parliament to be called from recess to discuss the separation of powers by the arms of government and the circumstances surrounding the death of Butaleja woman MP CerinaNebanda.

This followed the arrest of some MPs and President Yoweri Museveni’s tough warning against some MPs who were making comments on Nebanda’s death.
