Speaker of Parliament Jacob Marksons Oboth has publicly named ministers who attended a parliamentary sitting after MPs raised concerns over frequent ministerial absenteeism.
On 10 November 2026, Oboth read out the names of ministers present, describing them as “the committed ministers today.”
Those named included David Bahati, Henry Musasizi, Tom Aza Alero, Lydia Wanyoto Mutende, Jackson Karugaba Kafuuzi, Peter Ogwang, Sidronius Okaasai Opolot, Judith Nabakooba Nalule, Julius Maganda Wandera and Margaret Muhanga Mugisa.
“The whole country should know that they were here today,” he said.
The Speaker also urged President Yoweri Museveni to consult Parliament before making any midterm Cabinet reshuffle.
MPs had argued that ministers' frequent absence leaves important questions unanswered and undermines Parliament's oversight role. Oboth urged legislators to continue handling government business even when the responsible ministers are absent.
