At least 126 legislators have signed the motion to oust Ms Persis Namuganza, the State minister for Housing, from Cabinet, inching closer to the required 176 number to take the battle to the floor of Parliament.

Mr Yona Musinguzi, the seconder of the motion, said when they reach the 176 mark, the motion will be taken to the Clerk to Parliament who will within 24 hours forward it to the Speaker for onward consideration.

If Ms Namuganza is censured, she will join Mr Sam Kutesa and Maj Gen Jim Muhwezi who have in the past been censured over abuse of office.
