Parliament is set to give Golden jubilee medals to 1,200 former Members of Parliament who served from 9th October 1962 to 9th October 2012.

Parliament’s assistant director of communication and public affairs, Hellen Kaweesa, has told NTV that the institution has set aside over Shs600 million to facilitate the awards ceremony due t take place in Kampala on 26th September.
Kaweesa also explained that the idea to honour the former legislators was floated by President Yoweri Museveni.

The awards are already eliciting voices of disapproval from some quarters, especially among those who think the Shs600 million to be spent on the award ceremnoy can be spent on priority areas like healthcare.
