Deputy Speaker, Thomas Tayebwa has asked Clerk to Parliament to expunge remarks by Busia Municipality MP Geoffrey Macho (NRM) who accused the National Unity Platform (NUP) of tribalism, claiming that most of the MPs appointed in the latest Opposition leadership reshuffle are from Buganda sub region.
This followed a request by Butambala Woman MP, Aisha Kabanda who asked to have Macho’s remarks to be expunged on grounds that they were malicious.
“Macho has made a statement that is extremely malicious and ill-intentioned.
I am the Deputy Secretary General of NUP and I find it extremely unfitting for me to continue speaking when someone speaks very malicious and walks out as though he simply came to make a malicious statement and walk away. When you look at our front bench, it is well balanced.
I pray that you find it befitting to expunge this statement because I find it to be very malicious and only playing a tribal card to malign the Opposition,” Ms Kabanda said.
