PHOTOS: President @KagutaMuseveni earlier arrived at the Kololo Ceremonial Grounds for the 1st sitting of the 1st meeting of the 1st Session of the 12th Parliament. During today’s convention, Members of Parliament will elect the Speaker and Deputy Speaker presided over by Chief Justice Flavian Zeija. Yesterday, the NRM Parliamentary Caucus endorsed MPs Jacobs Markson Oboth and @Thomas_Tayebwa for the two respective positions. The President will later address the House.

President @KagutaMuseveni has urged National Resistance Movement (NRM) members to exercise discipline and restraint in the race for parliamentary leadership, cautioning against excessive competition for positions as the party moved to determine its preferred candidates for Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the 12th Parliament. Speaking during the first NRM Parliamentary Caucus meeting at State House Entebbe today, President Museveni said while democracy allows members to express interest in leadership positions, party members should be guided by discipline, experience and collective interests. “When we were fighting, people did not express interest by saying they wanted to fight. You went where you were told to go. Today, because there is peace, many people are expressing interest in contesting for positions. Democracy is good, but we should be disciplined,” President Museveni said. Read More: nrm.ug/blog/president…
