Parliament will sit today to vet the Vice President designate, Jessica Alupo, and the Prime Minister nominee, Ms Robinah Nabbanja, after their appointment last week.
Ms Alupo, the former Education minister, replaced Edward Ssekandi, while Nabbanja, the former State Minister for Health in-charge of General Duties, replaced Dr Ruhakana Rugunda.
A notice from the Office of Clerk to Parliament to the Members of Parliament signed by Paul Wabwire, the Deputy Clerk (Parliamentary Affairs), urged all the legislators to attend the session.
Despite criticism from a section of the public about her appointment and that of other women, Ms Nabbanja said they should be treated as those who can make meaningful contributions to the development of Uganda.
While the Vice President has a limited participation in the day-to-day running of the affairs of the state, the Prime Minister is expected to coordinate the implementation of government programs across the country.
