The Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among, has said the government will present a response to the Opposition demands on reports of human rights violations next week.
The speaker said during the House sitting yesterday that she has been notified that a response from the government on their position will be ready by November 19, 2023, but being a weekend they shall receive it during the sitting on Tuesday, November 21, 2023.
In the statement, the government is expected to give its position on the alleged abductions, arrests, and detentions of opposition leaders and supporters.
Opposition MPs staged a walkout from plenary sitting on October 10th, 2023, protesting continued arrest and detention of their supporters.
They demanded that the government accounts for all their missing and detained supporters.
The MPs led by the Leader of the Opposition, Mathias Mpuga, have since boycotted Parliament sittings demanding answers from the government.
