Speaker Edward SSekandi

The Speaker of Parliament Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi announced to MPs, in an emotional sitting, the end of the term of the Eighth parliament urging MPs to appreciate and embrace the multiparty political system.

He says that people should stop comparing the seventh parliament to the eighth parliament, since the 8^th Parliament was more challenging because it was the first under a multiparty political system.

Sekandi says that Mps on the government side came with one manifesto that the executive is trying to implement, but many wanted to debate like independents. He says that no one change the way business is being run in parliament unless the constitution is amended and Uganda returns to the no party movement system.

Speaker Ssekandi announced that the official proclamation for the end of the Eighth Parliament had already been signed and would be gazetted on May 18, the day the ninth Parliament would commence.
