In a decisive move, NRM legislators are urging the
Central Executive Committee (CEC) of their party to honour the Kyankwanzi
resolution, maintaining the process for selecting three backbench commissioners
through a vote.

Expressing concern over the overwhelming interest from over 200 legislators for the limited three commissioner positions, sources within the NRM Caucus suggest a lack of confidence in the current Commissioners of Parliament.
Government Chief Whip Hamson Denis Obua initiated
the call for expressions of interest in November, leading to a flood of
applications for key parliamentary roles.
However, the sheer volume of interest in the commissioner positions has sparked
a debate within the party.
"The Kyankwanzi resolution is a fundamental aspect of our internal
democratic processes. We must respect the voices of our legislators in choosing
their representatives," warned a prominent NRM lawmaker.
Despite the push from NRM legislators, some opposition members argue against
sacrificing current commissioners, citing financial constraints faced by the
commission.
The impending decision rests with the NRM CEC, which is expected to consider
the multitude of applications and decide the fate of the three backbench
commissioner positions.
"We should be cautious not to compromise the efficiency of the commission,
especially given the current challenges with limited funds," remarked an
opposition legislator.
The term of office for the current Parliament Commissioners and Leadership of
standing Committees expired with the 11th Parliament.
Among those awaiting their fate are Bukooli Central MP Solomon Silwany, Rubanda
District woman MP Prossy Akampulira Mbabazi, and Zombo Woman MP Esther
Afoyochan.
As the political tussle unfolds, the NRM legislators have outlined key areas
they want the next commission to address in the remaining two and a half years
of the 11th Parliament .
