The Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga held a closed-door meeting with the former Army Commander, Maj Gen Mugisha Muntu, and top leadership of the Alliance for National Transformation (ANT).
The meeting that was also attended by Jinja East Member of Parliament (MP) Paul Mwiru, happened in the Speaker’s Chambers at Parliament yesterday.
Journalists were not allowed to attend the meeting. But, speaking shortly after the meeting, Gen Muntu, the presidential flag bearer for ANT, and the party’s acting national coordinator, Ms Alice Alaso, said their meeting was only a courtesy call.
“It was a courtesy call on the Speaker but also to announce ourselves as a political party that is now represented in Parliament. We thought it would be important for her to know the party that is behind three MPs representing the Alliance,” Ms Alaso said.
Background Recently, three MPs crossed to the party. They include Gerald Karuhanga (Ntungamo Municipality), Paul Mwiru of Jinja East, and Mr Kassiano Wadri of Arua Municipality. Gen Muntu said he had accompanied the party leadership. “We came to introduce ourselves and also brief the Speaker about our status as a party but also to give her some of the things we want done,” he said.
However, the Speaker’s personal press secretary, Mr Sam Obbo, in a memo to the press, said one of the issues was that of “Membership to the Inter-Party Organisation for Dialogue (IPOD) in light of three MPs joining ANT.’
