Commissioner of Parliament Solomon Silwanyi, who also doubles as the Bukooli central Member of Parliament has condemned fellow MPs from Busoga for involving themselves in the plan to censure him and other commissioners.

Silwanyi termed such behaviors as being hypocritical and selfish, noting a previous incident where some MPs in the sub-region led the drive to overthrow the then speaker of Parliament Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga.

He was speaking during the commissioning of a Shs400 million maternity ward at Busowa Health Center II which he constructed in Busowa town council, Bugiri district.

Silwanyi, who is among the four commissioners on tension over a censure motion by MPs accused legislators from Busoga for always fighting hard to bring down colleagues who achieve greater heights in leadership.

He pointed out Bugiri Woman MP whom he said could be sour grapping for having convinced former FDC MP Eunice Namatende to join NRM.

Namatende is eyeing the Bugiri Woman MP position.

However, the new chairperson of the legal committee of parliament,  Bakka Mugabi assured  Silwanyi that they will not be censured even though the required number of signatures were raised

The Minister for Presidency, Milly Babalanda commended Silwanyi for prioritizing health issues by constructing a maternity ward for his people.

She urged other leaders to help monitor services at the facility to prevent drug theft and absenteeism of workers.
