I will not fit in Nsibambi’s shoes, says Mbabazi

Kampala

Outgoing Prime Minister Apolo Nsibambi has asked the 9th Parliament to amend some of the rules of procedure to have at least 20 per cent of the MPs present as quorum to pass any laws. He said this yesterday while handing over office to his successor, Amama Mbabazi, the former security minister.

Prof. Nsibambi, who took Mr Amama through a thorough orientation before handing him a comprehensive written report, said he had serious issues raising quorum of the necessary numbers to vote in Parliament. “You must ensure ministers attend until the end of the session,new air max tn including all back-benchers of the NRM,” he said. “You must work closely with the Speaker, her deputy and the Leader of Opposition.”

Revisit rules
The current rules of Parliament demand that for any laws to be passed there must be at least 33 per cent of the total number of MPs entitled to vote. “This number is too high.ritain only has 40 (six per cent) MPs out of the 600 MPs who can pass a law,” he said, asking that such a matter should be revisited. “Sometimes we had political paralysis on some matters and we didn’t have the numbers to pass the vote; but when you consult with the LoP, things can cool and wait for another day,” he said.

There are 375 elected MPs who have the mandate to vote which means that to pass any law, 125 MPs should be present in the House. Prof. Nsibambi challenged his successor to rein in on some ministers who do not want to perform. He said his office always held monthly meetings, assessed the performance and got reports from other ministers. “Those who don’t want to work should be summoned to your office and must explain if it’s their permanent secretaries failing them or if it is finance or they are over worked,” he said.
