The Uganda Peoples Congress (UPC) has opened disciplinary proceedings against at least nine party members over alleged misconduct.

The party's National Disciplinary Committee, chaired by Paul Peter Okello, launched the hearings on August 31, with the first session held on September 1 at Garden Inn Hotel in Lira City.

UPC Head of Media and Communications Faizo Muzeyi said the members were referred to the committee for alleged violations of the party's Constitution and Rules of Procedure.

Those listed before the committee include Enap Adim Denis, Jack Kabusu, Natukunda Nawume Aisha, Magero Emmanuel Were, Hon. Achola Suzan, Ongom Chris, Ogwal Adyebo Alex, Ewal George and Babirye Josephine, among other members.

Muzeyi said the hearings were adjourned to September 3 and will resume at the party headquarters at Uganda House in Kampala.

"The said members were referred to the Committee for alleged misconduct contrary to the UPC Constitution (2008 as amended) and the Party Rules of Procedure," Muzeyi said.

He said the National Disciplinary Committee is an independent organ of the party and will announce the outcome of the proceedings at an appropriate time in accordance with established procedures.

Muzeyi also said disciplinary committees at sub-county level are handling other cases within their respective jurisdictions.

He urged UPC members to conduct party activities in line with the party's Code of Conduct and Uganda's laws.
