MPs who were recently expelled from parliament have met with the Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga to discuss their plight. The meeting which happened on Thursday in the Speaker’s chambers was only attended by a few people; the Speaker, the MPs and the Attorney General William Byaruhanga on Thursday.

What was discussed in the meeting is still under wraps.

MPs who were expelled are; Elioda Tumwesigye of Sheema Municipality MP, Asuman Basalirwa of  Patrick Ochan (Apac Municipality), Tarsis Rwaburindore (Ibanda Municipality), Lokii Abraham (Kotido Municipality) and Hashim Suleiman of Nebbi Municipality.

Court declared that they were in court illegally on account that the constituencies they represented were non-existent.

This followed a petition filed by former Bufumbira East MP Eddie Kwizera challenging the legality of a number of constituencies created after the 2016 general elections.

The Electoral Commission (EC) and the Attorney General, however, appealed have appealed against the court’s decision.
