The Deputy Speaker of parliament, Hon. Thomas Tayebwa yesterday 17th Oct, 2023, suspended opposition MPs from parliament for three days consecutive sitting.

The suspended MPs are; Joyce Bagala(Mityana District woman MP), Mr. Francis Zaake(Mityana MP), Mr. Frank Kabuye(Kasanda South MP), Mr. Derrick Nyeko(Makindye East MP) and Ms. Betty Nambooze(Mukono Municipalit My)

It is said that the MPs were suspended for their continuous disruptions of House proceedings and turning a dignified parliament into a market place in total violation of rules of procedure.

The suspension of the MPs is said to have happened after there was a disruptive disagreement on whether a certain video should be played or not, the video carried content of arrest of Robert Kyagulanyi and others. Some suspended MPs said Deputy speaker was unfair while others said the suspension did not bother them at all.
