Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Police on Thursday retrieved from Mityana Municipality MP Francis Zaake\u2019s home a car belonging to the Parliamentary Commission following his removal as Commissioner.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe action was prompted by Hon Zaake\u2019s refusal to return Government property that by policy is supposed to be driven by an official driver. The Clerk to Parliament had severally advised Hon Zaake to follow the guidelines governing management of government fleet and return the car but he declined. The police have delivered the car and it is safe at parliament parking,\u201d Parliament\u2019s director, communication and public affairs Chris Obore said on Friday.<\/p>\n

A May 3 letter signed off by the Clerk to Parliament, Mr Adolf Mwesige Kasaija, instructed the police to withdraw the vehicle from Mr Zaake.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has come to my notice that Hon Francis Zaake has never handed over the vehicle to the Director, Admiration and Transport Logistics as per my communication, which is in contravention with the law. The purpose of this communication, therefore, is to instruct you to immediately recover the above-mentioned Parliamentary Commission vehicle from him,\u201d the letter read in part.<\/p>\n

In March, 155 legislators voted to remove Mr Zaake from the Parliamentary Commission over accusations of disparaging then Deputy Speaker, Ms Anita Among. Ms Among has since replaced the late Jacob Oulanyah as the House Speaker.<\/p>\n

After two weeks of investigation, the Committee on Rules, Privileges, and Discipline had recommended that Mr Zaake apologises to the House. It held that the conduct of the National Unity Platform (NUP) party legislator was not proper and that it amounted to misbehaviour and misconduct. This recommendation was, however, reviewed for a censure motion that was overwhelmingly adopted by the House. Mr Zaake later petitioned the Constitutional Court, seeking to\u2014among others\u2014overturn his removal from the position.<\/p>\n
