Kampala — THE opposition MPS will be back in Parliament on Tuesday to participate in other parliamentary activities.

Leader of opposition in Parliament Ogenga Latigo told Saturday Vision on Friday that their walk out on Thursday was only meant to show dissatisfaction on the way the house had handled the NSSF's Temangalo land probe reports.

The MPs, led by Ogenga Latigo, walked out before the House voted on the motion to exonerate security minister Amama Mbabazi and that of Finance Dr. Ezra Suruma of wrongdoing in NSSF's purchase of land at Temangalo in Wakiso district.

It adopted a motion moved by General duties minister Adolph Mwesige to amend sections of the majority report that had found Mbabazi and Suruma guilty of influence peddling and violating sections 8, 12 and 15 (d) of the leadership Code Act.

This was on grounds of Attorney General Kiddhu Makubuya's interpretation of the law that Parliament or its committees did not have jurisdiction to enforce the Leadership Code.

Latigo said they were reviewing the possibility of seeking legal redress on Speaker Edward Ssekandi's ruling on whether committees had powers to investigate and recommend.

Mbabazi yesterday said he was happy the whole thing was over. "I am a leader and I expect to be subjected to political scrutiny. I am happy I was not found wanting in any way."

Although some mistakes were committed during the probe, he added, lessons can be learnt.

"There are people who used this as an opportunity to try to pull me down, most of them in my party. I forgive them and we move on," he said.

Suruma also expressed happiness. "I don't hold grudges in my life but I hope members realise we need discipline in the party," he said.

On the NSSF, the minister promised to quicken the NSSF pension reforms and change the management. Opposition chief whip Kassiano Wadri said the fight was not over.

"We are going to tell the public that the Parliament no longer talks for you. Use your vote to kick out members who support corruption," he complained.
