MPs shun seminar on life after parliament

By Damali Mukhaye.

Majority of the MPs who were defeated in the just concluded elections have shunned a seminar organized today to discuss life after parliament.

Parliament had organized a two-day seminar for all MPs who did not go through to prepare them for life after their term expires in May.

However, just a handful of the legislators have turned up for the seminar that was opened by the Speaker Rebecca Kadaga.

Atleast 319 MPs in the 10^thparliament failed to retain their seats and only 107 were successful.

The current 10^th Parliament has 426 MPs.

The seminar that runs till tomorrow seeks to equip outgoing MPs with financial literacy skills to enable them utilize their resources optimally and avoid extravagance.
