The former Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga is tomorrow, Tuesday, going to declare her interest to resume her coveted seat.
We’ve learnt that a number of Members of Parliament converged at Kadaga’s home in Muyenga on Monday evening to decide on the position left vacant by the passing of Jacob Oulanyah.
The meeting resolved that Kadaga, who steered Parliament for two terms, should go to the National Resistance Movement party electoral commission headquarters on Tuesday to declare her candidature.
“Rt. Hon. Rebecca Kadaga is best suited and with the desired experience to chair Parliament and provide leadership at this particular moment,” said a source who attended the meeting.
The Deputy Speaker Anita Among is also said to be set for the same position and is expected at the NRM electoral commission headquarters on Tuesday at 11:00am.
Among, who has served as the Deputy Speaker for 9 months, resolved together with her team on Monday evening, to take a swipe at the Speakership.
