It seems the speaker of Parliament Ms Rebecca Kadaga is in total pressure following the house’s continued investigations of corruption into Prime Minister’s office.

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) told Kadaga that it was giving the country a bad image for the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament to investigate Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi. Recently the government returned some of the donor funds that reportedly went missing in Amama Mbabazi’s office.

The DPP also says that the continued investigations into the alleged swindled funds in Amama Mbabazi’s office should stop as court proceedings continue.

Sources told us that the DPP met Kadaga personally and requested her to halt the investigations. The same DPP also recently wrote a protest letter to Kadaga that the investigations into AMAMA MBABAZI’S office breach the principal of laws.

Led y the Uganda Women’s Network, the women organsitions said the recent attacks on the speaker of parliament Rebecca Kadaga that she is corrupt are just diversionary and intended to divert the country from serious issues being handled by parliament under the leadership of Kadaga.

The women were reacting to media reports that millions of donor funds were diverted at the time   Kadaga was chairperson of FIDA Uganda.

Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga

The Chief Executive Officer FIDA Dr Maria Nassali told journalists at Parliament that the allegations that her organization lost money is not true and  such allegations were just  malicious to  tarnish the name of Kadaga.

The chairperson of Uganda Women Parliamentary Association Betty Amongi says as women of Uganda they will not allow anyone to derail Kadaga from the cause she has started.

She says it’s surprising for anyone to question the integrity of the Speaker at this time when she is objectively steering parliament and the public has big hope in her to lead the country.
