The ruling party has called upon it’s members of parliament especially those interested in contesting for speakership to have mutual understanding and treat each other with respect and as a family.

This call was made by Emmanuel Lumala Dombo the party’s director for information.

“The concerned members will be notified once the modalities for such guidance are concluded and NRM SG has directed me to remind MPs about the subsisting legal framework and expectations under the NRM code of conduct” he said.

According to Dombo. This kind of cohesion will enable the party deliver it’s promises of security the future of Ugandans.
