West Budama MP, Jacob Markson Oboth-Oboth

The Com­mit­tee on Le­gal and Par­lia­men­tary Af­fairs has expressed disappointment with the government over the failure to get back to the committee regarding the Constitution Amend­ment bill 2017 within the stipulated time.

The Committee Chaired by West Budama MP, Jacob Markson Oboth-Oboth, on Aug 1, 2017 gave the Min­is­ter of Lands, Hous­ing and Urban development Betty Amongi together with the Minister for Jus­tice and Con­sti­tu­tion Af­fairs, Maj.Gen. Kahinda Otafiire, up to two weeks to con­sult with their col­leagues in Cab­i­net on the Constitution Amend­ment bill.

The re­quest arose af­ter the Min­is­ters failed to an­swer fun­da­men­tal ques­tions on what the amend­ment in­tended to cure.

Oboth-Oboth says the delay has stalled the committee work since they cannot get views from other stakeholders’ before the official position of the government.
