The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Thomas Tayebwa has appointed a seven-member committee to scrutinize and identify prima facie evidence on the censure motion against Minister Persis Namuganza.
Presiding over the house on Friday afternoon, Tayebwa said the appointed select committee is in accordance with rule 109(9) of the Rules of Procedure.
According to Tayebwa, parliament is required to sit and institute a select committee to study and investigate the motion, 14 days after it is submitted to the president.
