Parliament Stays Mpuuga As The Commissioner : “You Don’t Have The Legal Mandate…..”

Yesterday the 25th of March 2024, Parliament replied to the request made by the National Unity Platform top leadership to recall Hon. Mpuuga from his position as the Commissioner of Parliament on allegations of corruption.

On 18th march, the party General Secretary wrote to parliament, informing them of the decision to replace Mpuuga with Hon. Zaake who had been impeached on issues of misconduct.
