POLITICS| PARLIAMENT |PERFORMANCE
Hon. David Bahati, the state minister for planning in the finance ministry is the best performing Member of Parliament (MP) while his counterpart Okello Henry Oryem is the worst performing MP, according to findings of the Parliamentary Scorecard 2018/2019.
The MPs were assessed on their attendance of plenary and committee sessions, in addition to performance in their constituencies.
David Pulkol, the executive director of Africa Leadership Institute, who compiled the report said tracking performance of MPs is made difficult by the fact that most Ugandans misunderstand the legislators' role.
"Hon. Ocan Betty Aol, who was the most outstanding frontbencher female MP, along with Hon. Achieng Sarah Opendi, Hon. Okori-Moe Janet Grace Akech, Hon. Nakiwala Florence Kyingi, Hon. Bakireke Nambooze Betty, Hon. Kunihira Agnes and Hon. Adeke Anna," Pulkol said as he congratulated female MPs for doing well in plenary sessions.
The analysis covered individual MPs' performance, aggregated regional sub-regional performance and the overall performance of parliament as a governance institution.
"Parliament performed relatively well in its legislative function, passing 27 laws, while it did not do very well in its representation and appropriation roles," according to findings of the report.
The findings were verified by Uganda Management Institute to enhance the creibility of the data that could have an impact on electoral outcomes in the forthcoming general elections.
Marco de Swart of the Democratic Governance Facility said they were happy to support this project because parliament is a key institution whose performance affects the extent to which Ugandans enjoy the benefits of democracy.
"This is an important project for us because we believe in the value that quality of legislation has on deepening democracy in societies," he said.
BEST MPS
Along with Bahati, the other best performing MPs are Hon. Abala David, Hon. Ocan Betty Aol, Hon. Achieng Sarah Opendi and Hon. Atim Ogwal Cecilia Barbara.
Hon. Obiga Mario Kania, Hon. Okori-Moe Janet Grace, Hon. Nankabirwa Ruth Sentamu, Hon. Odur Jonathan and Hon. Lugoloobi Amod complete the list of top 10 performers.
WORST MPS
The members whose performance was found wanting are Hon. Okello Henry Oryem, Abdu Nadduli who is an ex-officio, Hon. Kutesa Sam Kahamba, Hon. Kibaaju Naome, Kamukama Nuwe Molly, another ex-officio and Hon. Babirye Judith.
The other legislators who need to pull up their socks are Hon. Kaliisa Jovrine Kyomukama, Hon. Okello Bonny Desales, Hon. Galabuzi Dennis Ssozi and Hon. Kamara John Nizeyimana.
