It was a colourful affair as the second batch of Members of the 11th
Parliament took their oaths on Tuesday. These brought the total of the already
sworn in MPs to 265 MPs after another 134 were sworn in on Monday.
The Constitution provides that Members of Parliament elect to take
and subscribe to the Oath of Allegiance and Oath of Members of Parliament. It
further provides that except for purposes of taking the oaths, no person shall
sit or vote in Parliament before taking and subscribing to the oaths.
The Oaths Act mandates the Clerk to Parliament to administer oaths
before MPs elect a Speaker.
Uganda Radio Network-URN followed the swearing-in ceremony and now
brings you pictures.
