This was revealed by the chairman of the caucus Godfrey Kiwanda while speaking to journalists at parliament.
Kiwanda said that Kawooya membership is still open for her to continue performing her duties for the good of Buganda Region when she feels she wants to join the caucus again.

He however questioned the manner in which she resigned from the caucus saying it’s unfounded and as a leader she would have thought twice.

Kiwanda explained that Buganda caucus took a decision not to support any Candidate from Buganda on understanding with other regions but not that they hated Kawooya as an individual.

The Pan African position fell vacant after the appointment of Sarah Kataike Ndoboli as State minister for health in Charge of General duties.

Kawooya contested in the Elections and lost to Ngora Woman MP Jackline Amongin by 71 votes against 41which made her to resign from the caucus.

There is an apparent war within Uganda opposition parties with some sharp allegations to the effect that some member parties like the Democratic Party (DP) have allied with the National Resistance Movement (NRM).

However the spokesperson of DP, Kenneth Paul Kakande clears that there is no such alliance between DP and NRM. There is no resolution of the National Executive Committee of DP mandating anybody in DP to work NRM for any political reasons.

He says that if there are any individual or group of persons doing it, they are doing it in their personal capacity and the party wishes to state that it will investigate these unfortunate and callous turn of events and such people, if any will be dealt with according to DP laws.

There also seems to be a deliberate effort to depict a war of words between FDC and DP leaders. Kakande says that the DP is not in business of attacking other opposition leaders and members. Kakande says that DP believes that the people in FDC are their friends and the party sees them as allies in the fight against Museveni’s leadership. He challenges FDC and all other opposition parties to concentrate their fire on the liberation struggle.

 It should also be noted that hundreds of fans attended Bebe Cool’s show not because of his weight as an individual. But because Bebe Cool had advertised Chaka Demus and Pliers. Many people went to Munyonyo to see Chaka Demus and Pliers.

 When the fans discovered that Bebe duped them-they became violent and damaged the hotel property. Now Sudhiru insists that Bebe Cool has to pay him for the losses worth 40 million shillings or else he takes the matter to court. We are told that the revelers damaged lights, pavements, and wash rooms at Munyonyo, some thing that annoyed Sudhiru so much.
