This workbook utilises visual storytelling and technical breakdowns to map the Ugandan parliamentary ecosystem, centering on the institution's fundamental responsibilities to the electorate. It provides a step-by-step visualisation of the legislative process, tracing both Government and Private Member’s Bills from tabling to presidential assent, while highlighting how MPs fulfil their representative duties in both chambers and in their constituencies. The manual further details Parliament's oversight function, explaining how Sessional and Standing Committees scrutinise government policy and the Leadership Code of Conduct. Crucially, it simplifies the appropriation role by illustrating the approval of supplementary budgets and the auditing of classified expenditures to ensure fiscal transparency. By addressing the roles of leadership and the petition process, the material equips citizens with the knowledge necessary to advocate for institutional accountability.
