Ugandan MP brings locusts to parliament

David Obala was forced to give the bottle to the sergeant-at-arms, who helps maintain order in parliament. 

David Obala, who represents Ngora county in eastern Uganda, had brought the locusts to parliament on Tuesday to protest against the government’s alleged slow intervention to curb the locust outbreak that has devastated crops across the region, raising fears of food shortages.

After another MP protested, Mr Obala was forced to give the bottle to the sergeant-at-arms, who helps maintain order in parliament.

The speaker asked for a weekly briefings from the ministry on spraying efforts.
