Preparations for swearing in ceremony of Members of the 9^th Parliament have kicked off at parliament. The newly elected MPs have started receiving invitation cards for the ceremony which will last for three days starting May 16^th -18^th 2011.

Parliament of Uganda

The deputy spokes person of parliament Jotham Taremwa says that because of lack of space to accommodate people, MPs have been directed to come with only 5 people to witness their respective swearing in ceremony.

He also assured the public that parliamentary chambers will be enough to accommodate all the MPs. This follows earlier concerns that the chambers may be small since the number of mps increased.

About 374 mps will be sworn in for the 9^th parliament leaving one position pending since people from one constituency of Zombo have not had their elections.

The MPs for the new Parliament will swear in after President Yoweri Museveni swears in for another 5-year term on May 12th.
