It was chaos and drama as debate on the Magyezi bill continued well into the night on Day Two yesterday

Speaker Rebecca Kadaga yesterday afternoon asked for a full report from parliament staff explaining how suspected presidential guard troops came to hide inside the Protestant and Catholic chapels, blatantly ignoring her Monday instructions banning non-parliamentary security from the precincts.

The government was left with egg on its face as Amuru Woman MP Lucy Akello rattled the mid-morning debate on the divisive ‘presidential age limit bill’, when she announced that soldiers had invaded parliament in a near-repeat of the widely-denounced September 27 raid by Special Forces Command (SFC) troops.

During the infamous September invasion, opposition MPs were viciously attacked and violently dragged out, leaving two seriously injured.
