It is Normal for Honorable Persons to Resign from Office The - TopicsExpress



          

It is Normal for Honorable Persons to Resign from Office The Parliament of Uganda elected Rt. Hon. Nantongo Zziwa Member of Parliament for the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) just like any other representative from Uganda. So any one of the representatives from Uganda could have been Speaker for EALA. But Rt. Hon. Zziwa was elected by at least 2/3 of the members to be Speaker of EALA by EALA members. Now at least 2/3 of the same EALA members have lost confidence in her. In a Parliamentary system of governance when the majority of the members lose confidence in you, resignation is the honorably thing to do. Last night as I watched NTV news I was shocked to see Rt. Hon. Zziwa coming up with all sorts of excuses to justify her stand not to resign from office. As she tried to justify her stand, the more I pitted her. All the reasons she fronted to do with attendance of EALA members, alleged shifting of the headquarters of EALA to another country etc are not for her as Speaker to unilaterally decide on but for all members of EALA. Rt. Hon. Zziwa needs to know that she holds a political office. So when she starts blaming her woes on Hon. Dora Byamukama, it shoes that she lacks political maturity. If my memory serves me right Hon. Dora Byamukama resigned from the legal affairs committee alongside other commissioners last month. Furthermore, in her own admission she states that the Minister for East African Affairs from Uganda and the Secretary General of the East African Community are among those fighting her. How can she fell out with everybody and expect to continue serving and being effective as Speaker? In the same 09.00 pm NTV news of yesterday, there was news to the effect that the Minister/Secretary for Internal Affairs and the Inspector General of Police of Kenya had resigned to take political responsibility for the massacres that recently took place in Northern Kenya. That was Honorable. I wish Rt. Hon. Zziwa could do the same and save Uganda the embarrassment. Since 2/3 of EALA members have lost confidence in her, the Parliament of Uganda or Heads of State wont save her either.
