LIST: MPs who voted against and in favour of Mobile Money tax

By Stephen Kalema

‘Lack of quorum’, was the reason given last week by deputy speaker Jacob Oulanyah for deferring the vote by the 10th Parliament on the  Excise Duty (Amendment) (No.2) Bill, 2018 commonly referred to as the  Mobile Money tax.

To avoid what happened last Thursday, Mr Oulanyah requested Clerk to Parliament, Jane Kibirige to ‘learn’ if there is required quorum to pass the Bill. With over 200 MPs present in the House on Tuesday, Ms Kibirige, informed the deputy speaker that voting could go on.

And that is how the Bill, which has received countrywide condemnation,  was passed by a House with almost a third of representatives absent, albeit with drama. Firstly, voting had to be redone after results from ‘show of hands’ reflected that there were more voters than present legislators. MPS were then subjected to a fresh vote by roll call and tally. Here, a Member of Parliament was to take microphone say ‘Yes’ in favor of  the Bill to be amended and reduced to 0.5 per cent down from one per cent or ‘No’ to have the tax abolished .

After votes were tallied, Oulanyah declared that of the total of 288 votes, 164 voted in favor of the 0.5% amendment while 124 voted in favor of scrapping of the tax.
