The Leader of Opposition in Parliament (LoP), Mathias Mpuuga, has made changes in the leadership of the Shadow Cabinet and Public Accounts Committee (PAC) – Local Government.

LoP has replaced Mr Martin Mapenduzi Ojara with Mr Gilbert Olanya, the Kilak South County MP, as the chairperson of PAC Local Governments.

The LoP also named Ms Helen Nakimuli, the Kalangala District Woman MP, as the new Shadow minister for Fisheries, and Mr Francis Katongole Katabaazi on the East Africa Community Affairs docket among others.

Mr Olanya brings into PAC a wealth of experience having previously worked for the committee before. During the 10th Parliament, he was the vice chairperson of the same committee.
