Busoga leaders have said Kadaga’s loss in the speakership race was a big blow to them. Andrew Ntange, the Busoga Kingdom spokesperson says they can’t pretend to be happy.
“We cannot hide our heads in the sand like an ostrich, but it is a serious loss to our land because when every one of our daughters and sons goes high, it gives us pride. We didn’t see this coming and have nothing to do. It is politics and we are testing the ugly part of it. We cannot pretend that we are happy,’’ he said.
Due to her loss, Mr. Elidad Kabakubya says there is no gap between NRM and Busoga region.
“NRM in Busoga has died because of Kadaga’s defeat. As President Museveni names his Cabinet, he should think of Busoga first. Busoga Kingdom has grown strong because of Kadaga. We ask God that what has befallen our Speaker doesn’t befall our cultural leaders.”
However, some say, all may not be lost if she is named the next prime minister.
“Since we have lost the Speakership, Ms Kadaga can best serve as Prime Minister. The NRM support in Busoga is not measured by President Museveni, but Kadaga’s effort.”
Meanwhile, some Busoga leaders say Kadaga has been in the same position for long. According to the former Kagoma County Mp,Dr Frank Nabwiso, leaders should always prepare for their departure from positions.
“It is necessary for Ugandans to learn that they should always be prepared to leave peacefully. Change may not be as bad as people think. Kadaga has been in power for 20 years in the same position, from 2001 to 2011 as a deputy, then as Speaker, but she has made some contribution which she is supposed to put in writing so that people can read,’’ he said.
