Former Opposition Chief Whip and Kira Municipality Member of Parliament, Ssemujju Nganda, has said that in the future, the opposition has to be very careful with people they send to the Parliamentary Commission.
Ssemujju says that he likes Zaake as an individual, but he does not think he (Zaake) is most suitable to be a Commissioner.
“Things have changed. Parliament has changed as well. I don’t see a difference between many MPs now and Zaake. We are all the same. The standards have gone down,” says Ssemujju.
As opposition, Ssemujju reveals that they tried to fight for Zaake to remain in office.
“I and Leader of Opposition Mathius Mpuuga went to the Deputy Speaker of Parliament to plead for Hon. Zaake. She said the case was beyond her at that moment. It had been taken over by other people who felt for Parliament and her as an individual, “he says.
He adds, “I have heard my colleagues in NUP say they’ll bring back Hon. Zaake’s name, it doesn’t work that way.”
