Speaker of Parliament Jacob Oboth-Oboth has told Kalungu County West MP Joseph Gonzaga Ssewungu that teaching science in primary school does not make him a scientist.

The exchange occurred during a parliamentary debate on the Presidential Initiative on Banana Industrial Development, a 20-year pilot that received Shs311 billion but generated only Shs15.5 billion in revenue.

MPs questioned the prolonged delays in commercialisation of the project as Health Minister Chris Baryomunsi defended the initiative.​

"You are not a known scientist. If you taught science in primary school, it doesn't make you a scientist," Oboth-Oboth told Ssewungu.​
