KAMPALA:
The Leader of Opposition Mathias Mpuuga has boasted of his achievements in the last 100 days of office.
The bragacious LoP says one of his solid achievements so far is uniting members of the opposition in parliament to work together towards one agenda.
He made the remarks on Wednesday during a media breakfast at his office on assessing his 100 days in the office of the Leader of the Opposition.
Mpuuga says he has launched a 17-point legislative agenda with proposals for constitutional amendments, deepening decentralization, and health services sector review on Friday this week.
This will be presented at Parliament House in a ceremony officiated by Speaker Jacob Oulanyah.
Mpuuga says “The agenda is a map of the work we want to do as the Opposition, but the document is not conclusive. There is no legal requirement for me to lay it before the House but if I chose to, I would go to the Business Committee and ask to lay it,”
The poised legislator further mentioned that the Opposition in Parliament is in the process of generating Private Members’ Bills.
The LOP advised MPs to be proactive and make adequate research ahead of making presentations on the Floor of Parliament.
“As the Opposition, we are building capacity through training and orientation so as to sharpen the edges of our MPs to work better. The job of Parliament needs particular skills which we are helping each other to pick on,” Mpuuga said.
