The sponsor of the motion accused the chairmen of failing to appear before the legislature to give explanation on how they have been running their LGAs financially.
According to Madumere, who failed to win a re-election, the suspended chairmen undermined the legislature by failing to properly honour invitations sent to them on several occasions.
One of the suspended chairmen who does not want his name in print confirmed the development to our correspondent in a telephone conversation.
He, however, told our correspondent that the suspended chairmen were meeting to review the situation.
