Lwemiyaga MP, Theodore Ssekikubo's political future is facing uncertainty following the violence in Ssembabule which was marred by gun violence and bloodshed.

Following the violence, Ssekikubo was charged with possessing an illegal firearm, obstructing police as well as stealing a plastic basin and pens.

The Ssembabule violence happened as the NRM was electing members for its district committees. More incidents of violence were reported in many other parts of the country. Ssekikubo's patience ran out after his arch rival and Foreign Affairs Minister, Sam Kuteesa, allegedly kept most delegates away from being accessed by his rivals such as Ssekikubo.

The African Leadership Institute (AFLI) released the third parliamentary score card since 2007 which indicated that Prof. Gilbert Bukenya, Busiro North MP, attended only two of the total 96 sittings of the house while Gen. David Tinyefunza, Brig. Francis Okello and Col. Ramadhan Kyamulesire, all army MPs did not attend a single sitting.

Star performers included among others; Denis Hamson Obua, Peter Mutuluuza, and Dr. Chris Baryomunsi.
The score card measured MPs on performance in plenary and committees, as well as programmes executed in their constituencies.
