Kiira Municipality MP, Hon Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda has come out with a piece of advice to his ex-FDC member Hon Anita Among on how to successfully run Parliament.

It should be recalled that Among is now the new speaker of Parliament. They elected her a few days ago to replace fallen MP, Hon Jacob Oulanyah.

According to Hon Ssemujju, Parliament needs a Speaker who is easily accessible. Luckily, Hon Anita Among is just that description for the time she’s handled Parliamentary affairs.

The MP who is also the FDC spokesperson advised Among to try and walk in the footsteps of the late Oulanyah.

“We need a Speaker who is accessible. Hon. @AnitahAmong has been accessible for the time she was handling. She should emulate Oulanyah,” the MP said.

Ssemujju added that the late Hon Oulanyah had embarked on improving the quality of debate on the floor of Parliament.

“The late Speaker Jacob Oulanyah had set out to improve the quality of debate in @Parliament_Ug. Whether he was going to succeed, I don’t know. The quality of Parliament had gone down. I was optimistic that Oulanyah was going to change that,” Hon Ssemujju Nganda added while appearing on NBS TV’s Frontline.

Among since her voting has been receiving immense praise from both the government and opposing Legislators.

There is fear however that her good communication skills could lead to the NRM poaching a number of Opposition MPs.

Apparently, in this short stint as the full Speaker, there is some gradual changes in the August House such as timekeeping. They are also optimistic that she will improve a lot of great things under her tenure.
