The MPs want parliament to be called from recess in order to discus the arrest of some MPs over the death of Butaleja MP ,Cerina Nebanda.The latest MP to be arrested is Workers MP Sam Lyomoki .He was arrested as on Tuesday after a talk show on WBS television.

Other MPs who were earlier summoned over the death of Nebanda  include ,Theodore Ssekikubo,Mohammed Nsereko ,Betty Nambooze ,Katoto Hatib and Dr.Chris Baryomunsi .

One of the obstacles to decide on  the petition is the desire of some members of parliament to withdraw their signatures  from the petition and forces from the executive which insists  that there is no need of recalling parliament to discuss the death of Nebanda when police is handling the matter.
