Anthony Akol, the Kilak North Count Member of Parliament (MP) has on Thursday been ordered to leave the parliamentary chambers and go into isolation after he admitted to having recently travelled to South Korea and later South Africa, but was never screened on his return at Entebbe Airport.

“You admitted on the Hansard that you travelled to these places. Please go and self-quarantine yourself,” Ms Kadaga said on Thursday.

The speaker announced through Twitter that she had sent Akol out: “I’ve ordered Kilak North County MP, Anthony Akol, to exit the plenary chambers, immediately. This followed his disclosure while giving a point of info, that he had returned from South Korea on March 5, this year but had not been checked  for the Coronavirus.”

Kadaga advised other MPs to avoid non-essential travels
