MP calls for academic caps for councilors

Jun 05, 2016

Some councilors recently failed to take their oaths in English

Mukono South Member of Parliament Johnson Muyanja Senyonga wants Parliament to amend the Local Government Act to set academic qualifications for councilors to at least Senior Four. 

Senyonga said it was disappointing that some councilors recently failed to take their oaths in English. 

He added that councilors should have a minimum qualification because they may fail to appreciate a number of documents produced in English to deliberate on issues affecting the electorate.
