Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Justice and Constitutional Affairs minister\u2019s proposal to create assistant deputy speaker slots has been called into question, with the impact on the public sector wage bill a particular pain point.<\/b><\/p>\n

Minister Norbert Mao on Tuesday floated the idea to insulate Parliament from the possibility of failing to sit in the event that Deputy Speaker Thomas Tayebwa is unavailable. Speaker Anita Among is currently on maternity leave.<\/p>\n

Article 82(1) of Uganda\u2019s Constitution empowers only the Speaker and Deputy Speaker to preside over plenary sittings, a critical tenet in the legislation processes of the country. The proposal to fill a lacuna, experts say, with the creation of offices for assistant deputy speakers will further increase the public sector wage bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur economy is not doing well and it would be good to reject such an idea or if not justifiable to drop it,\u201d Mr Fred Muhumuza, a macroeconomist at Makerere University, said of the possibility of increasing public expenditure amid shrinking cash inflows.<\/p>\n

For Prof Sabiti Makara, a political scientist at Kabale University, \u201cthe substantive point is that the Constitution will have to be amended.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThat would mean that many other things that have been pending the amendment of the Constitution should be brought forward. But will they bring those kinds of issues? Why is it that they want to change the Constitution for only one thing?\u201d<\/p>\n

Prof Makara was also alive to the fact that Uganda has \u201ca constrained budget with constrained resources\u201d and that a House of 557 lawmakers compounds matters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this position is not necessary because since independence we have never had an assistant deputy speaker and nothing has ever happened. So if there had been an incident that all of them were absent and Parliament came to hold, then they would justify it like that,\u201d he reasoned, adding, \u201cBut creating another layer of administration in Parliament when there is no justification yet as to why it should be created would be wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Julius Mukunda, the executive director of Civil Society Budget Advocacy Group (CSBAG), told that \u201ccreating the position of deputy speaker would require us to have more resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cFrom a resource management perspective, it is unnecessary because it can be done without changing in the process […] instead of putting assistant speaker, they should put regulations that allow the speaker to appoint any chairperson of the parliamentary committee to take charge of the proceedings in Parliament in absence of the speaker and the deputy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The shadow attorney general hastened to add that his proposal is markedly different from what Minister Mao proffered.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnything to do with adding the costs of public administration on the citizens of Uganda, I simply abhor. We don\u2019t need any other constitutional office in the Parliament of Uganda. The offices we have are enough,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cThough there are situations when the two of them are not there and that is why I was suggesting a panel where you can pick any member of Parliament from the panel that has been randomly chosen. It doesn\u2019t have to be a permanent member.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 11th Parliament has 557 lawmakers and 26 ex officio members. Each gets a monthly salary of Shs6.1m in addition to other perks. Besides the salary, each lawmaker receives a housing allowance of Shs6.5m, a town running fee of Shs1.945m, and a constituency support fee of Shs17.03m. Worth noting is that ministers or ex officio members who are not representatives of any constituency don\u2019t receive the constituency fund.<\/p>\n

Other perks that the lawmakers are entitled to include fuel allowance that ranges anywhere between Shs10.3m and Shs31m per month, depending on the distance between a lawmaker\u2019s constituency and Kampala.<\/p>\n

At the start of each Parliament, every lawmaker is entitled to a free iPad, funeral package, family health insurance cover, and allowance on travel abroad of $700 (Shs2.6 million) while inland travel is about Shs450,000 per diem.<\/p>\n

The cost of propping the offices of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker are even most costly.<\/p>\n
