Parliament of Uganda

Nuwagaba said that he has adequate reasonable qualifications and experience required for leading the parliament.

He says that he has been in parliament and has been forced to stand in order to correct the mistakes that have been realized in the 8^th parliament.

He says that he wants to emphasize the issue of independence of parliament and giving issues of public interest first priority.

Nuwagaba also noted the need to change the style of voting in parliament on matters of public interest from voice voting to another style of voting that will be agreed upon.

He warned NRM party leaders to give the members opportunity to choose their leaders through voting rather than just designating the leaders.

Other legislators who are eyeing the Deputy Speaker post include Peter Nyombi (Nakasongola), Jacob Oulannya (Omoro), Fox Odoi (West Budama North) and Odonga Otto (Aruu County).
