The shadow attorney general Abdu Kantutu together with shadow minister for justice and constitutional affairs medard Lubega segoona told the parliamentary committee on rules discipline and privileges that the attorney general is misguiding the nation and that his advice is creating the rift between parliament and executive.

According to Kantutu, Nyombi is the one who fuelled the whole debate and therefore he has no capacity to interpreted the law.

He says that the executive must respect the decision of parliament because parliament is the representative of people of Uganda. He says that there is no way parliamentary decision can be categorized saying that whoever is categorizing them is just trying to hide something.

Segoona however say that parliament has powers to suspend any minister because without its input one cannot become a minister.

He also said that no one should hide behind the technicalities of the law saying that contempt of parliament is a disciplinary matter not a criminal matter.

He said that what the ministers have done is despising the rule of common sense and therefore they should be held responsible for contempt.
