Ugandan parliament: MPs debate age limit motion.
According to NTV Uganda, described the incidence as ‘nasty scenes’ as Members of Parliament (MPs) are seen engaged in fist fights with the hurling of chairs between two factions.
On the substantive issue, head of the house, Speaker Kadaga, ruled after the day’s heated debate that the age limit motion had been allowed.
Tensions continued in the house amid claims that one MP was in possession of a gun. The speaker subsequently ordered for a security official to carry out a search for ammunitions.
Opposition lawmakers arrived in the chamber for the day’s proceedings with red head and hand bands.
Speaker Kadaga ordered them to take them off before business started.
Outside the lawmaking chamber protests continue in stiff opposition to the age limit motion which was championed by a section of ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) MPs.
