Rakai Woman MP Wants Mityna MP Hon Zaake Subjected to Mental Checkup, Thrown Out of Parliament for Allegedly Abusing and Calling Her a Prostitute.

Juliet Kinyamatama (DWR Rakai) has asked Parliament’s Rules Committee to subject Francis Zaake (Mityana Municipality) to a thorough mental checkup and have him thrown out of Parliament for the two and half years of his remaining term in the 11thParliament.

"My prayers are that the Hon. Zaake is subjected to a thorough mental examination to any of the national mental facilities to ascertain the mental state of the member given his conduct in and out of parliament. Hon. Zaake be suspended from Parliament and all its premises and the rest of the session for the 11th Parliament,” said Kinyamatama

Kinyamatama made the appeal while appearing before the Rules, Privilege & Discipline Committee following the Committee’s resumption of probe into the alleged derogatory remarks made by Zaake targeting Kinyamatama in 2023. MP Kinyamatama also wants Parliament to force Zaake to render an equivocal apology before Parliament, retracting the defamatory statement as contained in the video clip.

"Hon. Zaake implied that I am engaged in commission of criminal offence of prostitution against the provisions of sections 139 of the penal code act whose punishment is imprisonment for a period of seven years. This is unacceptable and derogatory to any woman in this era to be referred to as a sex worker," said Kinyamatama.

Hon. Zaake's statements have exposed me to public laughter, indescribable hatred, mockery & ridicule. The statements were so demeaning, very humiliating, very derogative and unacceptable especially coming from a fellow member of parliament,” added Kinyamatama.
