Kadaga, Anita Declare Interest to Replace Fallen Speaker of Parliament Oulanya.

 The former Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga is tomorrow, Tuesday, going to declare her interest to resume her coveted seat.

ChimpReports has learned 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.

We have also learned that Anita 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.

When contacted on phone, the Kazo county Member of Parliament, Dan Kimosho, who is among the Among mobilizers, confirmed the development.

“The young people wanted Oulanyah but unfortunately God has taken him,” said Kimosho.

Adding: “The suitable alternative for (the departed) Jacob is now Among”.

Kimosho noted that Among has for the last 9 months exhibited capabilities to handle the office of the Speaker.
