President Yoweri Museveni has warned parliament not to get tempted that it runs government saying he can call a referendum to ‘resolve the issue.’

Museveni made the comment while addressing a group of NRM MPs-elect during the closing ceremony of their retreat kn Kyankwanzi.

“Everybody must do his work….Parliament is not the one which runs Uganda, I can put it to a referendum and resolve this issue once and for all because this ‘kisanja’ will not be a joking ‘kisanja,” Museveni said.

He added, “I have the capacity to say no. I shouldn’t be speaking about this for two weeks, begging writing, lobbying, I’m now a lobbyist. I’ll no longer lobby, I’ll use my authority to say no, finished!”

He also put the incoming parliament on notice, saying it must attend to government business without any delays.

Museveni has warned that he will not hesitate to use his executive authority to have his views and ideas passed in parliament.

The president’s remarks come as a political battle rages on within NRM between incumbent Rebecca Kadaga and her Deputy Jacob Oulanyah on who will be the party candidate for Speakership.
