Kampala. Bugweri County MP Abdul Katuntu has beseeched the new MPs to strive and serve Parliament for more than one term, that it is bad manners to serve for one term.

Katuntu has been an MP for the last 20 years and by the next election he will have been in Parliament for 25 years.

‘It is bad manners to serve only one term as a Member of Parliament. You will be like a tourist in Parliament, he said.

He also suggested that being a large Parliament it is now, all MPs must be given large identification cards that they should display in their chests.

Oulanya was addressing the new 11th Parliament on Monday on the rules of procedure during an induction session that will run for three days.

He also asked the MPs to base their arguments on research and spend much time on issues that affect their electorates.
