Mirundi said that it’s a huge loss for the ruling party and they won’t get anyone who complimented the role as Kadaga.
Mirundi’s comments came after NRM fronted Jacob Oulanyah as its official flag bearer for the speakership of the 11th parliament.
Mirundi who has never been shy to air out his views said all this while appearing on his STV political talk show.
“I am telling you, NRM has made the wrong choice. They will regret it because they will never have a leader like her.” Mirundi noted.
The former presidential advisor added that Kadaga was like a magnet who attracted unlike poles. He added that the way she was able to unite all MPs regardless of party affiliation was so huge.
Dropping Kadaga as the official flag bearer came as a surprise to many as her achievements spoke volumes. This is one of the reasons different MPs including those even in opposition had already thrown their weight behind Kadaga before the NRM CEC made a choice.
The election that is slated to happen today will see different candidates tussle it out toe to toe. Kadaga after being dropped yesterday made her intentions clear that she is not backing out.
She will stand as an Independent and this is expected to give the NRM a hard time as the biggest party. Most MPs will be torn between party and individual loyalty.
We shall keep you updated about this story as it continues to unfold.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
