Shadow Minister for local Government who is also Mukono municipality Member of Parliament Betty Nambooze appealed to colleagues in parliament to throw out the proposal by Government to create more counties.

Yesterday the Minister of local Government Adolf Mwesigye tabled before parliament over 39 counties seeking parliamentary approval. However, Nambooze says that it should not be the 9th parliament, which put a ban on the creation of more constituencies, to reverse its decision and create more counties.

The law maker says that the creation of more counties is politically motivated to provide NRM more seats in parliament. Nambooze says that if parliament goes ahead and approves these new counties, the opposition will take the matter to court.
