Kadaga, please stand firm

EDITOR: I have a lot of respect for the newly elected Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga. A lot of praise has been heaped on her and she is no doubt a woman of strong credentials.

EDITOR: I have a lot of respect for the newly elected Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga. A lot of praise has been heaped on her and she is no doubt a woman of strong credentials.

Yet I venture to remind her that this new job will put to test her leadership abilities to the fullest in terms of fairness in conducting parliamentary proceedings, her commitment to transparency and how far she will go to ensure that women issues are not jettisoned to the wind but given the worth they deserve.

The greatest test, I believe, will be her independence in her running of parliamentary affairs.

I would like to encourage her to stand firm and defend the best interests of the House but more importantly, of our motherland Uganda. In that way, her reputation will not be lost with this job but given a new lease of life.
