Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Speaker of Parliament Anita Among has appealed to MPs to always use their free time to research on issues that affect the people they represent in a bid to improve quality of debate in the House.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I implore all of you to make research-based submissions in committees and on the floor that will help guide on next course of action. This business of just standing to speak for the record must stop,\u2019\u2019 she said during the second session of the 11th Parliament.<\/p>\n

Among also urged members to embrace consultative leadership as a way of building relationships not only with at their constituents but also with colleagues.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsultative leadership is a key ingredient in our pursuit for a people centered Parliament,\u2019\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n

Her remarks come weeks after Parliament last month organized a training seminar held under the theme: \u201cTransformed, Independent and People-centered Parliament,\u201d which was organized to, among others, register three core targets; Parliament and constitutional governance, parliamentary procedure, practices and processes.<\/p>\n

According to Ms Among, the session was also meant to sharpen oratory skills of the 529 lawmakers, improve their debating abilities and polish their decorum both within the August House and outside the precincts of Parliament.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019We have scenarios where we send MPs to go and represent the Speaker, Deputy Speaker or Clerk [to Parliament] and somebody cannot express himself or herself. But by the end of this workshop, we should be having very good members of Parliament who can articulate himself anywhere, whether internationally or locally.\u2019\u2019 The statement read in part.<\/p>\n

Parliament will today reconvene at 2pm for the fourth sitting which will be chaired by Ms Among.<\/p>\n

High on the agenda is the statement on the enhancement of pay for public officers and the ongoing industrial action by Uganda National Teachers\u2019 Union (UNATU).<\/p>\n
