Parliamentary Fatigue: Ugandan Lawmakers Weary of Repeated Consultations on Foot Soldiers Uganda's parliament is facing growing discontent among its members, according to a recent interview on Sanyuka TV's Morning Xpress. Ssegona, a key figure in the discussions, expressed the sentiment of many lawmakers regarding the numerous consultations on matters related to 'foot soldiers,' a term often used in reference to lower-level political operatives. The frequent consultations, Ssegona explained, are causing significant strain on the legislators' time and resources. "Members were growing weary of repeatedly consulting on issues related to the foot soldiers," Ssegona stated. The interview also featured Hon. Michael Kakembo, who offered further perspective on the challenges of these consultations. He highlighted the complexities of navigating the political landscape and the need for more efficient communication strategies. The video included clips from parliament sessions, showing the lively and often chaotic nature of these consultations. The issue underscores the need for improved communication and collaboration within the Ugandan parliament to ensure effective governance and address the concerns of all stakeholders.
