Mpuuga Speaks Out Over His Resignation Allegations

Nyendo Mukungwe member of parliament also former Leader of opposition in Parliament Rt. Hon. Mathias Mpuuga has responded to the circulating document that calls for his resignation from the position of the commissioner of parliament.

Mpuuga clarified that the allegations against him were malicious and intended to tarnish his name.

The unsigned document purportedly attributed to my Party, the National Unity Platform; calling for my resignation inter-alia based on falsehoods and terrible misapprehension of facts including basic ones. Mpuuga stated.

The duties and roles of the Parliamentary Commission are well stipulated in the laws of the land, and coughed in basic language. An issue I shared and labored to educate my comrades with whom we interacted in an informal conversation
at the party offices.It is the same commission that votes funds to all political offices, including theLOP’s office.

It takes care of the welfare of ordinary members and their leaders in Parliament,including determining the range of legally permissible payments, that may be salary, allowances, gratuity, honoraria, car grants among others.The document reads in part.

I wish to assure the general membership of NUP and all change seeking forces
that, this shall remain my resolve; and I cannot be deterred by small-group- family
interests being peddled to blur the bigger picture of how the Party is being
managed without transparency.Mpuuga said.

I will not stop raising important questions on the actions, motivation and direction
of different actors in the Party, even in the face of the current tribulations, well-
choreographed to undermine and depict me as unfit to lead.The letter concludes.
