The Deputy Speaker of Parliament Thomas Tayebwa has decried the increased indebtedness of legislators that has seen a number of them dragged to civil imprisonment this year.
During the annual end-of-year parliamentary party, he challenged legislators to co-exist harmoniously irrespective of their political schools of thought.
Speaking at the end-of-year party of parliament, Tayebwa decried the increased level of indebtedness amongst members of parliament. He noted that some legislators have ended up in prisons this year due to failure to meet debt obligations.
Tayebwa also recognized the poor working relations amongst legislators which impedes parliament business. He noted that most lawmakers instead of collaborating on how to build a better motherland, spend ample time in political bickering with colleagues.
He noted that this is part of the reasons informing high attrition rates in the August House, something he said is likely to play out as the 2026 campaigns draw closer. However, as the year drew to a close, Tayebwa called for a change in heart.
Tayebwa also delivered a speech to the speaker Anita Among who emphasized MPs readiness ahead of a busy year.
MPs later took the dance floor and were entertained by politician cum musicians including Hilary Kiyaga MP Mawokota South, Racheal Magoola Woman MP Bugweri district, and Geofrey Lutaaya MP Kakuuto county.
