Betty Nambooze, the Mukono Municipality Member of Parliament, has appended her signature to the censure motion and clarified that her actions aren’t intended to condemn the four commissioners but rather to provide them with a platform to defend themselves.

She made these remarks on June 7, 2024, at Parliament while signing the censure motion.

“By signing this document, I am not condemning anybody, but I am giving the stakeholders an opportunity to be heard. I think this is the best process for us to adopt at the moment,” Nambooze said.

According to Nambooze, she needed to consult her people and conduct research before signing the motion because, at the time the said money was shared amongst the commissioners, she had sought medical care abroad.

She said that as a Member of Parliament, her signature ceases to be her personal property and becomes the property of the people in Mukono.

The MP further stated that when MPs wanted to debate the matter on the floor of parliament, the Speaker wasn’t pleased to allow the debate to go on.

“So this is the only way to bring them together to hear those who are for and those who are against the matter,” Nambooze said.

On June 6, 2024, supporters of the National Unity Platform Party from the Greater Mukono Region urged all the opposition members of Parliament, especially from the NUP, to append their signatures to the motion.
