In a video shared by renowned Ugandan journalist Walter Mwesigye, three Ugandan politicians stirred netizens after they were recorded massaging each other in Parliament.
A female politician believed to be was seated beside Honorable Mpindi Bumali, the Member of Parliament representing persons living with disabilities, and could be seen giving him head massages, working her way down his neck before another male politician seated behind them grabbed her hand and put it on his head also to feel what his counterpart had been feeling.
These massages took place while the House was in session, and it appeared that the politicians did not think their behavior would be caught on camera. A section of Uganda reacted to the politicians’ lacking decorum in the House as some made fun of the situation.

“Maybe it was “break time” – A time to relax a bit from a lengthy plenary session . Don’t joke with ‘forces of nature’, Check the joy on the man’s face after the ‘massage’. Every society (school, corporates) has that one lady who is good at massaging the boy child,” said Odur Derrick.
“How do you expect such MPs to reason out on budget issues?” asked Jajja Kaliisa.
“I’m also curious to know who those two are I hope they are single because what kind of unprofessionalism is this. Do these make serious submissions and contributions in parliament surely?” asked nasijeelsie123.
“Life needs light moments, as long as they are not feasting on someone’s (each) partner,” said Makula Jacob.
“I don’t know if I’m laughing or holding it, but nonetheless, may God uphold Uganda!” said Reagan Collins.
“The job description said she needed to be a team player, I guess she’s just doing her part for the team?” asked the real code black.
“This country is scripted!! You can’t tell me otherwise,” opined Joan FC.
