Monday is an off day for Uganda’s Parliament but according to spokeswoman Helen Kawesa, Speaker Kadaga will call the Parliament together tomorrow. One of the first matters of business will be resolution of the chaos that developed last week over legislation to regulate the oil industry.

I suspect that any MPs identified will debate the committee’s finding and so we could have a contentious meeting tomorrow.
