A decision by National Resistance Movement Party organ to back outgoing Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Jacob Oulanya for Speaker of the eleventh Parliament is drawing mixed reaction.
Reports from a closed door NRM Central Executive Committee meeting yesterday indicate that it has decided not to front Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga as the next Speaker of Parliament.
Kadaga has been at the helm of the legislature for the last ten years having been Deputy Speaker before. Now the NRM’s second top most organ says Jacob Oulanyah should replace Kadaga.
The NRM Central Executive committee allegedly accuses Alitwala Rebecca Kadaga for bribing MPs to vote her for a third term as speaker. She is also allegedly accused of causing tension among the three arms of government during her ten-year tenure as Speaker of Parliament. End.
