{EALA has on Monday sworn-in its newest Member, Hon Martin Ngoga from Rwanda. The Oath of Allegiance to the House was administered by the Clerk of EALA, before the EALA Speaker, Rt. Hon Dan Kidega.}
Hon Martin Ngoga who was elected last week, took the oath in accordance with Rule 6 of the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly.
The Rules of Procedure say in part that: “No Member can sit or participate in the proceedings of the House until the Oath or Affirmation of Allegiance to the Treaty is taken”.
Rule 6(3) specifically states that “when a Member first attends to take his or her seat other than at the first sitting of a new House, he or she shall be brought to the table by two Members and presented by them to the Speaker who shall then administer the Oath or Affirmation of Allegiance”.
The new Member was ushered into the House by Hon Dora Byamukama and Hon Pierre Celestin Rwigema.
