Parliament Leader of Opposition Mathias Mpuuga has said National Unity Platform (NUP) party legislators have their own trouble if they allow themselves to be used.
He says as a result of the MPs’ personal decisions, the legislators will be judged by their voters.
He made the remarks in an interview with our reporter about the two NUP MPs who have got their pictures in the media hobnobbing with Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the chairperson of the MK Movement, which wants to lead Uganda.
The MPs are Dr Twaha Kagabo and Jimmy Lwanga, who represent Njeru Municipality in Buikwe district and Bukoto South in Lwengo, respectively.
Kagabo was the first to meet Muhoozi in Entebbe on May 16, 2023 and Lwanga followed suit in late June.
Muhoozi, the First Son and a four-star general, also serves as the senior presidential advisor on special operations.
Asked whether he was in control of his NUP MPs in the House, Mpuuga said these MPs are not school boys, and that they have been given enough orientation.
He argued that orientation or learning is not an event, but they have tried to take their MPs through the basics.
