We don’t know whether this one will please United States of America, England and other super powers that have interests in the political administration of Uganda. Every one would have expected Uganda to adopt rules, regulations and ordinances from USA or England. But the surprise is that among all countries Uganda wants to adopt rules of procedure from Philippine, Malawi, Zambia and Kenya.

A source in parliament of Uganda told our informer that Uganda wants to borrow a leaf from Philippine, Kenya, Malawi and Zambia where the parliament(s) there have more than two speakers of parliament. In Uganda, parliament has only two speakers: deputy speaker and parliament speaker.

The source says that government wants to have a panel of speakers to serve in the absence of the Deputy and Speaker of parliament.

However the members of opposition in Uganda say that the government wants to create a panel of speakers because the current speaker of parliament, Rebecca Kadaga has acted independently yet the ruling government wishes to have parliament speakers who nod on government terms all the time.
