🇺🇬 INDEPENDENT MPS WHO SIGN NRM MOU EXPECTED TO BACK PARTY POSITIONS

The Government Chief Whip says Independent MPs who sign the agreement become members of the NRM Parliamentary Caucus and are expected to support the party’s positions both inside and outside Parliament.

“We also expect that you will support the party positions in and out of Parliament. And I want to stress that point because, as Chief Whip, sometimes when we are supporting party positions on the floor, I open my mouth when I hear people talking contrary to our position.”
