Uganda’s Parliament today marks 100 years of existence. While many most people’s interest in the House might be their MPs, there are several staff, including the clerk to parliament, who do help in the smooth running of the legislative arm of government.
Article 50(2) of the 1962 constitution provided for the office of clerk to Parliament, thus “unless Parliament otherwise provides, the office of the clerk to parliament and the offices of staff members shall be public offices.”
The clerk to parliament is the head of all civil servants that work in Parliament.
