Parliament moves motion to recall Gen Kyaligonza

By Patricia Osman

Parliament has this afternoon passed a solution to recall Major General Matayo Kyaligonza as Uganda’s ambassador to Burundi following the weekend scenario where he reportedly assaulted a female traffic officer Esther Namaganda together with his two body guards.

The motion was moved by Uganda Women Parliamentarians Association (UWOPA) chairperson Pamela Kamugo recommending that the appointing authority Mr. Museveni recalls Gen Kyaligonza as ambassador.

After heated the debate, the Speaker Rebecca Kadaga adopted the motion and it now remains the pre-rogative of the appointing authority to recall Gen Kyaligonza or not.
