{UAH} Kadaga Rejects FDC’s Appointed Leader of Opposition

Maybe Nubian fart Edward Mwilunda is right afterall. He always
complains about degree holders and this chicanery between Kadaga and
Mafabi could be justification for the 79 year old pillock's scepticsm.
Here Mafabi sends an official letter of appointment to Kadaga, full or
grammatical errors and non-existent postions. No wonder Kadaga is
quite happy to make fun of him- Smetimes I wonder why our politicians
don't employ credible secretaries, proof-readers and speech writers.
What are their assisants there for, if not to check public statements
their bosses issue them out?

Speaker Rejects FDC's Appointed Leader of Opposition


The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Rebecca Kadaga.Rejects FDC's
Appointed Leader of Opposition

By: Sam Waswa

Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga has rejected two of the three
leaders appointed by the Forum for Democratic Change as the leading
opposition party.

Kadaga informed Parliament on Tuesday during the State of the Nation
Address at the Kampala Serena, that FDC's appointed Leader of
Opposition and the Chief Whip had been given the wrong titles.

FDC last week announced that they had appointed Hon Winnie Kizza as
Leader of Opposition, Hon Semujju Nganda as the opposition Chief Whip
and Cecilia Ogwal as the Parliamentary Clerk.


Mafabi's letter to Speaker Kadaga

However, in a letter introducing the trio to the Speaker of Parliament
by the FDC Secretary General Nandala Mafabi dated May 17th, he named
Hon Winnie Kizza as the "Leader of the Minority" and Semujju Nganda as
the Party (FDC) Chief whip instead of the "Opposition Chief Whip.

Kadaga today told Parliament that this was against Constitution of the
Republic of Uganda and Parliament's Rules of Procedure.

"Hon Members today intended to introduce to you the 10th Parliament's
Leader of Opposition…but when FDC's Secretary General wrote to me last
week, he said the party has appointed the 'Leader of the Minority,'
which office is not recognized by our rules of procedure," said
Kadaga.

As such, she revealed that she had written back to the Hon Mafabi,
asking him to clarify on the titles of the two leaders and that
thereafter, Winnie Kizza and Semujju Nganda would be officially
introduced to Parliament.
