The Deputy Speaker says allegations by Hon. Muwada Nkunyingi that resolutions of Parliament are altered before transmission to other agencies is unacceptable and puts the reputation of the House at stake. ‘If you hear such an allegation, pass it to the relevant offices of this House. I request that we be cautious about this and if you have any allegation, give it to the Speaker or my office to take action. It is criminal to change resolutions of Parliament and we take stern action. We haven’t received any complaint of that nature” #PlenaryUg

Deputy Speaker @Thomas_Tayebwa has called on MPs to regularly visit the Office of the Presiding Officer to log matters of national importance. He noted that early registration allows proper follow-ups with relevant ministers and helps clear parliamentary backlogs. Thursdays are now dedicated to hearing MP concerns, including those raised by members on the floor without prior registration. #MonitorUpdates 🎥Ibrahim Kavuma

Hon. Kyampene says the lack of a law has hindered its full potential as seen with the production of poor or medium quality tea which earns US$1 per kilo compared to higher prices for Kenyan and Rwandan tea. "The law will cure the lack of market diversification due to the reliance on the Mombasa tea auction for the sale of about 90% of Uganda's tea production". #PlenaryUg

Speaker @ObothOboth was joined by members of the Ugandan delegation, who wore stoles presented to delegates by the Forum’s Indian hosts. Uganda and Thailand are both BRICS partner countries. Trade between them is still small and uneven. Uganda Exports to Thailand were US$383.53 thousand during 2025, according to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade. Uganda Exports to Thailand. On the other hand, Thailand Exports to Uganda were US$27.25 million during 2025, according to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade. That gap leaves plenty of room to grow bilateral parliamentary diplomacy through building a parliamentary friendship group between the two countries'Houses! @ParliamentUG #ObothOboth #BRICSPF2026 #BRICSIndia2026 #Uganda #Thailand
