State Minister for Housing and urban development, Persis Namuganza has presented herself before the Rules, Privileges and Discipline Committee that is investigating her alleged contempt of Parliament. With her lawyers,Namuganza still insists that the matter - in which she is alleged to have made demeaning statements against the Parliament - cannot be heard by the committee.
The Committee on Rules, Privileges and Discipline is investigating the conduct of the state minister for Lands, Housing and Urban Development (Housing), Hon. Persis Namuganza who is alleged to have brought Parliament into disrepute.
Namuganza is alleged to have said that Parliament is powerless and unable to censure her. This was in relation to her involvement in the Naguru-Nakawa land allocations.
Parliament indicted Namuganza in May 2022 following a report by the Adhoc Committee on Naguru-Nakawa land where she was faulted for falsifying a presidential directive that saw Uganda Land Commission allocate land to certain entities.
Namuganza speaking this was appearing before the parliamentary committee on rules chaired by Gulu East Member of perliament Rev Father Charles Onen on allegations that during the different Media channels and social media Namuganza said that the Adhoc Committee was created to fight her and it is full of wars.
After denial by the Minister, the chairperson rules committee Onen directed the minister to appear before the committee to hear from the witnesses.
