He revealed this as he handed over office to Ssenyonyi on Wednesday in the presence of the shadow cabinet members.
Mpuuga who is also MP for Nyendo-Mukungwe Division in Masaka City, pledged support to Ssenyonyi and also cautioned him to always endeavor to strike a balance amongst all opposition parties in his deliberations.
Meanwhile, Ssenyonyi has vowed to continue with the fight for human rights and also make sure that the existing matter in Parliament on the detained political prisoners is attended to by the regime.
