The Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga on Wednesday launched her campaign bid for a third term as Speaker in the 11th Parliament in an event which took place at Speke Resort Munyonyo, Kampala.
At least five members of the National Unity Platform were among the over 70 MPs present to show support to the incumbent speaker.
While speaking at the official launch, Kadaga the incumbent speaker of parliament said that sometimes she gets in trouble with her party because they expect her to stifle opposition MPs, a thing she says she doesn’t agree to.
“I am a Speaker for all MPs, I am guided by the will of people and in doing my work, I always look out for their interests,” Kadaga said.
She added that she has the support of many MPs because she has been a unifying factor in parliament offering the chance to every member of parliament irrespective of their parties to contribute.
Kadaga is competing with fellow NRM cadre Jacob Oulanyah for the Speakership seat.
