The 10th Parliament reconvenes today to continue with plenary sittings after members re-called by the clerk last week.
In a notice dated August 2, 2016, Kibirige notified the MPs that plenary is to resume today Tuesday, August 9, 2016 at 2:00pm.
The parliament commission is expected to table government business that the 10th parliament is to deliberate on in the first session. Also expected is the tabling of business that the House is adopting from the unfinished business of the ninth parliament.
Some of the unfinished business includes the tax exemption bill, the National Biotechnology and Biosafety bill, 2012, the Retirement Benefits Sector Liberalization bill, 2011 and the Marriage and Divorce bill among others.
Sources also indicate that today’s plenary sitting is to deliberate on a motion reportedly prepared by Bugweri County MP Abdu Katuntu on the request that government pays 1.3 trillion Shillings to select 65 struggling companies and individuals.
The proposal was fronted by an economist, Dr. Ashie Mukungu and has since sparked public debate.
