The performance rating of members of Parliament released recently has attracted mixed reactions from the electorates, with most saying the results were accurate.

A Section of electorates interviewed by thekigezipost.com reporter in Lango Sub -region said the scores would have an impact on their voting, while others insisted that rating would not affect their choice in the forthcoming election.

The electorates also questioned the criteria used to arrive at the scores, pointing out that while some Mps performed well in the House., their performance at the constituency level was poor.

Bonny Ocen, a resident of Opali sub county in Amolatar district, did not mince words in relation to the performance of Kioga North Constituency Mp James Olobo Dubai.

”I suspect Olobo has never been in parliament ,. This is a clear indication that he has been sleeping or doing his own things in Kampala, but not representing the people of Kioga who sent him to parliament.;he said.

Ocen added that, Olobo Scored F in plenary, E in committee and Constituency.

” Those whose names have not appeared among the top performers should come back and join the community in farming ” Said Samuel Opio a farmer from Oyam district.

Molly Akello, of Bangala trading center Kioga county Constituency in Amolatar district said actually there is little to show for Mp Moses Junior Okot Bitek’s three years in Parliament apart from chairs and tents as his constituents wallow in abject poverty; I believe a serious contender would replace him 2026.

In Otuke district, Yubentino Obak Alot a resident of Otudu village, Omwonylee parish in Ogor Sub said that the scorecard was accurate on Susan Jolly Abeja Okello, the Otuke woman Mp, rated among the worse performing Mps. She scored F in plenary, C in Committee and constituency.’she deserved it said Obak.

The voters in Lira City expressed Varying views on the performance of their Parliamentarian woman Mp Hon . Dr Jane Ruth Acheng Ocero, received thumbs- up for supporting education, farmers , groups , health Centers and lobbying for power supply in the City.
