During the Wednesday plenary session, Speaker Oboth-Oboth revisited the past day’s business abit by calling on MPs to fearlessly assert themselves while calling out Ministers who perpetually dodge plenary sessions.
He was pleased that during the Wednesday session, fewer Ministers were absent than Tuesday. He said it’s the MPs who need to hear from Ministers and not him, which is why they must relentlessly require them to be present.
Oboth-Oboth signaled LoP Joel Ssenyonyi to have his shadow Cabinet members stand up and introduce themselves so that colleagues on the government front bench get to know those charged with keeping them under check.
One by one, shadow cabinet Ministers introduced themselves with some like Zahara Luyulika for Kampala calling out her rivals Minsa Kabanda and Kyofa Togabye for always being absent.
When it was the turn for Rubaga South MP, the very beautiful Euginia Nassolo to introduce herself (being the shadow Minister charged with Microfinance Affairs), Speaker Oboth-Oboth characteristically cracked jokes while veiledly making reference to her physical attractiveness.
Haruna Kasolo had just spoken from the government side along with Deputy Premier Rukia Nakaddama.
Oboth-Oboth joked: “Honorable Haruna Kasolo you have seen the one charged with microfinance from the opposition side, from what you have seen, would you wish to be redeployed back to your former docket in order to be checked by [such a nice-looking lady]?” the Speaker inquired as the entire House burst into prolonged laughter.
Nassolo shyly looked on as the Speaker and other MPs threw veiled banter in recognition of her endowedness and physical attractiveness.
Kasolo returned to the microphone and seemed to agree with the Speaker’s veiled observation and conclusion that Euginia Nassolo is indeed a beautiful lady that is hard to resist. Kasolo said: “Rt. Hon Speaker at Foreign Affairs we are very busy but I’m available and she can access me anytime.”
This caused more laughter causing some of the journalists present to take note of the clear contrast between the effortless humor with which Oboth-Oboth steers the House, compared to the stiffness with which his predecessor Anita Among conducted plenary business.
Kasolo further clarified that he left the Ministry of Microfinance currently spearheaded by another colleague Minister (Shartsi Musherure) who he described as very good, but also made it clear he is available 24/7 should the very gorgeous Euginia Nassolo feel like wanting to consult him on anything regarding her docket.
