“Bobi Wine Has No Rights To Sack Me As Parliamentary Commissioner” Says Mpuuga
Recently disclosed in a letter shared by Bobi Wine, Mpuuga seemingly acknowledged receiving a substantial portion of taxpayers’ money. The letter also revealed his apology and strong recommendations for him to resign from his position as a parliamentary commissioner.
Despite issuing a strongly-worded statement yesterday, rebuking his colleagues for their lack of comprehension on the matter and highlighting accountability and transparency issues within the party, Mpuuga firmly stated his refusal to resign and indicated no intention of doing so in the near future.
During the CBS interview, when questioned about potential recall by his party president and the appointment of someone else, Mpuuga asserted that his party president lacks the authority to dismiss him as a commissioner, emphasizing that he serves as a commissioner for all opposition legislators, not solely for his party.
Mpuuga emphasized that the procedural rules are explicit, outlining the removal process for a parliamentary commissioner. He clarified that while the party holds the power to appoint, the authority to remove is vested in the parliament and its members.
Drawing parallels with the removal of Zaake as commissioner on March 10, 2022, Mpuuga highlighted the parliamentary process involving a motion and subsequent ballot by members of parliament, accusing Zaake of indiscipline.
