The National Unity Platform (NUP) party has nominated Mityana Municipality Member of Parliament Francis Zaake as the new parliamentary commissioner, replacing Mathias Mpuuga.


This is after the NUP National Executive Committee (NEC) resolved to recall the former Leader of Opposition, Mpuuga as parliamentary commissioner over alleged abuse of office.

In a statement signed by the party’s Acting National President, Dr. Lina Zadriga Waru, the party accuses Mpuuga of being part of the Shs1.7 billion “service award” scandal that was agreed in a meeting reportedly chaired by Speaker of Parliament Anita Among.

Meanwhile Mpuuga has since reiterated that he is not resigning from his current position as parliamentary commissioner.

Last year, the Constitutional Court invalidated the parliamentary resolution to remove Zaake from his position as a commissioner.
