“Parliament should be informed rather than reading from papers about this deteriorating situation in the country, we can’t proceed as if the situation in the country,” Theodore Ssekibubo remarked.
The legislators also demanded answers to why government officials were blocked from attending the burial ceremony of ASP Mohammad Kirumira in Mpambire.
Bitter over the unrelenting plague of murders, legislators also probed the murder of Henry Kanywamusayi together with son who were slain on Monday night at his home in Kajansi in Kampala.
However, minister of state for internal affairs, Mario Obiga Kania said he had no comment regarding the legislators concerns as President Museveni has already expounded on the matter.
“There is nothing more I could see than the in-depth statement from President Museveni on Sunday,” he said.
