The Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga has asked the Kyadondo East legislator Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine to explain why he referred the 10bn shillings given to Parliament to fight Covid-19 as a bribe.

Kadaga also sent the controversial legislator, who recently returned his share of Shs 20 million, to the committee of Discipline, Rules and Privileges for more disciplinary action.

MPs also questioned the behavior of the minister for Trade, Industry and Cooperatives Amelia Kyambadde whom they accused of disparaging Parliament while featuring on the NBS TV's Morning Breeze show on April 23.
