DP President Hon Nobert Mao also a former MP.

The Democratic Party President, Nobert Mao has welcomed the initiative by Parliament to recognize the former and serving MPs with medals saying the recipients deserve it for the work they did to their country.

The Speaker of Parliament, Hon. Rebecca Kadaga in conjunction with the Presidential Awards committee are yet to award golden Jubilee awards worth 600m shillings to MPs who served in different legislatives since Uganda’s
independence up to 2012.

Being one of those on the list to receive a medal, Mao says it is not a bad idea because it’s recognition for achievement.

Meanwhile, Lubaga North MP, Moses Kasibante disagrees with the idea of giving MPs medals saying that it’s wastage of money noting that ever since the country gained independence, there is no much successful achievements that have been  attained as claimed.
