The Speaker of Parliament Anita Among has directed the Minister for Presidency Milly Babalanda by tomorrow Wednesday to table a report in parliament stipulating the caliber and qualifications of the recently appointed Assistant Resident City Commissioners and Resident District Commissioners.
This was after the Leader of Opposition in Parliament Joel Ssenyonyi raised a matter of concern in the house saying the quality and morals of the appointed assistant RCCs and RDCs were wanting and questionable citing one Yiga Kisakyamuka who at one time abused the Kabaka of Buganda Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II.
He further challenged the government for appointing more public officers yet the same government is advocating for rationalizing government agencies and entities to cut public expenditures.
In response, the Speaker Among also requested the Minister for Presidency Babalanda to stop appointing and deploying RCCs and RDCs in the areas of their residence saying that they use it as an opportunity to compete with the sitting area MPs.
The speaker also advised Minister Babalanda to be mindful of Article 203 of the constitution which states that, for anyone to be appointed an RDC/RCC shall be a citizen of Uganda and qualifies to be a member of parliament.
