Hon Rebecca Kadaga boards a parliament bus to Kololo
The political collapse of Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga has squelched dreams of many –of her region (Busoga), of her people, of the women and opposition supporters gripped for the last 10 years by her outspoken brand of politics.
A parliamentary vote to elect the speaker of the 11th Parliament cast on May 24 felled Kadaga ending her 10-year stewardship of the House and snuffed the fire out of a long-running war with her deputy and eventual victor Jacob Oulanyah. Oulanyah polled 310 votes against Kadaga’s 197 votes.
