In your view as a citizen of Uganda, what role do you expect from your members of parliament?
Background
According to rural debates and political talk shows on various media channels, people have different views of the
roles of their members of parliament.
One of those is the assumption that MPs must satisfy
their citizens’ wants, to the extent of encroaching on their personal finances.
An example was the saga in which MPs had borrowed heavily in the course of
their work, and banks were threatening to freeze their assets. The president
had to bail them out, but he cautioned them to stop borrowing loans to satisfy
citizens.
