MPs submit signatures to clerk of parliament
Members of parliament who initiated a motion to debate and criticize four backbench commissioners have today submitted collected signatures to the Clerk of Parliament. The motion's proponents expect the Clerk to forward the document to the Speaker's office tomorrow. Once received, the Speaker has 14 days to include the motion on the Order Paper. The commissioners are accused of allegedly sharing 1.7 billion shillings as a service award without parliamentary approval. This group includes the former Leader of the Opposition, Mathias Mpuuga, and three other members of the National Resistance Movement.
