1 Mins read

The Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga, has set new guidelines especially on security that will see other security personnel other than the ones deployed at Parliament, leave the premises.

“In light of what occurred sometime back here in the Chamber, I have taken the following resolutions; I understand that there is access to Parliament from President’s Office through the fourth floor on North Wing. I instruct the Sergeant-at-Arms to seal it; and all Police Officers deployed at Parliament should wear their name tags and ranks,” said Kadaga.

However she cautioned MPs to act according to the law of procedures that govern the house.

“I want to remind Members about the Rules of Procedure and code of conduct expected of Parliament. Rules 81 and 82 should be paid to with special emphasis, it is important that we protect the sanctity of Parliament,” said Kadaga before adding that;

““As a Member, under rule 82, you are expected to; leave with decorum; avoid unnecessarily crossing the Floor; observe silence when other Members are speaking; avoid interrupting the maiden speech; avoid bringing into the House anything other than papers, books or other documents and; avoid clapping in the House.”

“It is also out of order, under rule 83, to use offensive, abusive, insulting, blasphemous or unbecoming words towards another Member.”

This website understands that on September 2017, Parliament was invaded by SFC Commandos that flushed out MPs who had been suspended from the house.
