Ailing legislators Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine and Hon. Francis Zaake, both victims of the Arua by-lection chaos, will receive further treatment abroad, DP president Norbert Mao has revealed.
According to Norbert Mao, the Democratic Party chapter of the UK will receive the legislators once their medical reports and paperwork for further treatment has been approved.
He revealed the medical report of Hon. Francis Zaake has been finalised.
“MPs are supposed to be treated at public expense but there is a process, you need the authority of the medical board but we have requested to meet the Prime Minister so that he can use his authority to waive the requirement for the medical board to sit. We did that for Nambooze the first time she went to India and I hope he will do this for our colleagues,” he stated.
According to medics at Lubaga Hospital, Hon. Francis Zaake is need of urgent specialised treatment abroad lest he suffers permanent disability. Similarly, Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi’s medical report is yet to be released.
