Any member of the public who would like to have any minister censured will have to go through an MP, Speaker Edward Ssekandi has said.

Mr Ssekandi said this on Wednesday while receiving the MPs minority report on the NSSF investigation into the controversial land transaction with Security Minister Amama Mbabazi. "The procedure of censure should not come from outsiders, but direct from an MP," Mr Ssekandi said.

In March NSSF bought land at Shs11 billion from the Mr Mbabazi and his partner Amos Nzeyi in a controversial way that has been subject to parliamentary investigation for nine weeks.

Mr Sekandi said he had constantly received censure appeals from many outsiders because of the ministers' role in the transaction.

"You cannot spring from Nateete and say let me petition the speaker to have minister so and so censured," he said.

The committee on Commissions and State Authorities implicates the minister, and his Finance colleague Dr Ezra Suruma as having abused the Leadership Code and hence should be punished by vacating office.

Mr Ssekandi said all MPs should advise their electorates on the procedures of Parliament and if possible avail them with copies of the rules of procedure used in the House.

Under the rules of procedure of Parliament, rule 93 states that, "A member who is desirous of moving a censure motion against a Minister shall notify the clerk in writing of his or her intention, citing the grounds for the proposed censure motion and giving detailed particulars supporting such grounds."
