The Speaker of Parliament Rt Hon Oboth Oboth has said that Parliament is fully committed to strengthening legislative frameworks, expanding training for lawmakers and addressing the plight of Ugandan migrant workers.
Rt Hon Oboth made the pledge as he met the Chief of Mission for the International Organisation of Migration (IOM) in Uganda, Dr Sanusi Tejan Savage who paid a courtesy call on him.
Rt Hon Oboth praised the International Organisation of Migration for its humanitarian interventions and emergency responses across the country, positioning Parliament as the primary voice and refuge for citizens facing distress abroad.
The Speaker suggested that a Private Member’s Bill can be proposed to fast-track compliance and strengthen legal tools against human smugglers.
Dr Tejan proposed a structured interface between Parliament, the National Coordination Mechanism on Migration under the Office of the Prime Minister and the Inter-Ministerial Platform for Migration Coordination.
