Speaker Anita Among has directed the Minister for the Presidency, Hon. Milly Babalanda to present a list of Resident District Commissioners (RDCs) and their deputies and assistants to Parliament for scrutiny.
This followed a statement presented by Minister for Kampala Capital City and Metropolitan Affairs, Hon. Minsa Kabanda in response to the Leader of the Opposition, Hon. Joel Ssenyonyi who questioned the caliber of some of the recently appointed RDCs.
During the plenary sitting on Tuesday, 23 April 2024, Ssenyonyi cited Gomba Assistant RDC, Yiga Kisakyamukama whom he said undressed in public and hurled insults at traditional leaders.
While chairing the House on Wednesday, 24 April 2024, Speaker Among noted that whereas appointment of RDCs is enshrined in Article 203 of the Constitution, the Minister for Presidency ought to prove that due diligence is performed before their appointment. “We need the qualifications of these RDCs. After you bring that, we will refer it to the Committee on Presidential Affairs,” she said.
Blessed night 🙏
