The National Resistance Movement’s top organ CEC has ordered the government chief whip to advertise all Sectoral Committee positions after dropping all current committee leaders.
The CEC meeting that was chaired by the Party’s National Chairman, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on 18th June, 2024 resolved to remove all the chairpersons and deputy chairpersons of committees of Parliament and deferred the appointment of new leaders for two weeks.
The meeting chaired by the party’s National Chairman, President Yoweri Museveni at State House Entebbe on Tuesday, was the third attempt to constitute the leadership of the 15 sectoral committees for the 4th Session of Parliament that began on June 7, 2024.
Each yearly session of Parliament begins with the designation of new committee leaders and members by the Government Chief Whip.
Tuesday’s CEC resolution, published by the NRM Director of Communication, Emmanuel Dombo, resulted in the postponement of the process.
“The Central Executive Committee of the NRM met on 11th June 2024,14th June 2024, and today as 18th June to consider and approve the designation of NRM Members as Chairman, Deputy Chairpersons and Members of the respective Sessional (sectoral) Parliamentary Committees,” said part of the resolution.
Adding: “CEC resolved to defer the designation for the vacant leadership positions of the Sessional Committees for two weeks.”
Meanwhile, the same meeting instructed the Government Chief Whip, Denis Hamson Obua to call for fresh applicants for the now vacant positions.
