Hon. Akello Rose Lilly the Minister of State for Ethics and Integrity has informed the house that they had given the following conditions if the event is to happen. ▶️ Children below 18 shouldn't attend.▶️ Nobody should go to that event naked.#PlenaryUg

There are two reasons why people do certain things: There’s the real reason and the one that sounds good. We know the real reason why Speaker @AnitahAmong is being sanctioned but the stated reason sounds good! It is good practice to always READ BETWEEN THE LIES!

Shhhyiiiiaaaaa! Most of them are in cahoots. Paid by the same hands. Independent journalism and reporting in @UG_Parliament died long time ago. They're mostly incompetent beggers there and so unable to sniff even surface of real news.
No Single Newspaper has come out to make a Headline about Parliament; No known Journalist has come to air out anything, No Single Parliamentary reporter has given any drop of information, No Known Vibrant Member of Parliament has come out to break the silence about what is taking.
