The hospitality of the Parliament of Uganda has been recognised by delegates who attended the Conference of Speakers and Presiding Officers of the Commonwealth (CSPOC), Deputy Speaker, Thomas Tayebwa has said.
“The delegates were surprised at how MPs can go all the way in providing support and care. You showed a very high level of humility where you stood and supported our visitors,” he said.
The conference provided a platform for speakers and presiding officers to deliberate on climate change, security of speakers and presiding officers and their health, as well as gender inclusivity and youth.
Furthermore, the conference
provided an opportunity for Uganda to showcase its diverse culture, organic
food and tourist destinations.
CSPOC aims to maintain, foster and encourage impartiality and fairness of
Speakers and Presiding Officers of Parliaments of the Commonwealth countries as
well as to promote knowledge and understanding of Parliamentary democracy in
its various forms, among others.
In the same vein, Tayebwa asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Gen. Jeje Odongo to present a statement on the recently concluded Non Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Group- 77 (G77+) summits that were held simultaneously from 15 to 20 January 2024 at the Commonwealth Resort Hotel, Munyonyo.
President Yoweri Museveni
assumed chairmanship for both summits and Tayebwa applauded him for organising
successful conferences.
“The Minister of Foreign Affairs should enlighten Parliament on benefits of the
chairmanship. If the minister could share with us a statement and tell us how
Parliament can contribute to a successful chairmanship,” he said.
