Ibrahim Abiriga the Arua Municipality member of parliament, has said that opposition members of parliament are stupid because they oppose everything for the sake of opposing it.
Abiriga who has been ridiculed over the last few months for comical behavior says the opposition needs to understand what is good for them and the country instead of just opposing.
“Those MPs do not think. They can oppose people going to the toilet just because they think it is right to oppose. In this life, you need to weigh what is good for you in order to exist,” Abiriga said.
Ibrahim Semujju Nganda who has been critical of Abiriga in the recent past says the legislator is entitled to his opinion.
“Some of us think it is shameful to support a ruling party like his, which has mismanaged the country, so we are all entitled to our opinion. He can have his and we can have ours,” Semujju said.
The tensions between opposition MPs and Abiriga has been highlighted during the push and shove related to the proposed amendment of article 102 b of the constitution to remove age limit for aspirants for the office of the president.
