NUP RESOLVES TO SUPPORT KADAGA FOR SPEAKERSHIP


 


The National Unity Platform has resolved to support Hon. Rebecca Kadaga   for the speakership position.

NUP recently went into a retreat in Jinja to discuss on who takes the Leader of Opposition post as well as who to back for the speaker of parliament.

At the ended of an inconclusive retreat, Kyagulanyi instituted a committee which was responsible for picking a person NUP will back for the Speakership role in parliament and local governments.

According to a source who is privy to the committee’s report, they have recommended that NUP supports NRM’s Rebecca Kadaga after reviewing the offers she tabled for them.

The source revealed that Kadaga contacted NUP’s select committee and give them irresistible offers which prompted them to support her bid given that there is no hope of an opposition MP being elected speaker.

Kadaga promised to give all NUP MPs trips outside Uganda something that will waste millions of tax payers’ money. She also offered several positions on parliamentary committees to the party members. NUP party  has 61 MPs in the new Parliament and Kadaga is hoping to get all the 61 votes in her favour in the speakership race.
