Rosemary Namayanja made the revelation during the NBS Morning breeze talk show on which she was being hosted.
News has been full of speculation on how the former speaker could face disciplinary action by the party after defying it’s orders.
The former speaker went against her party’s wishes when she decided to run as an independent candidate. This was after the party chose Omolo county MP Jacob Oulanyah as the official party flag bearer in the parliament speakership race.
Kadaga felt dismayed and ran as an independent eventually losing out to Oulanyah. Addressing the media the party secretary general Justine Kasule Lumumba said the legislator would only be reprimanded if there was a formal complaint against her behavior.
Ruth Nankabirwa after Kasule’s remarks made it known of her intentions to make Kadaga face punitive action. Many know the government chief whip to have a sharp differences with the former speaker.
She wanted Kadaga to apologise to the party chairman, President Museveni and other party loyalists. She maintained what Kadaga did was wrong and deserved a punishment.
However Namayanja said the party has no plans of punishing the second national chairperson of the NRM. She asserted that Kadaga was not the first person to run as an independent.
“There has not been any attempt to reprimand Hon. Kadaga. She is a top leader in the party and as of Friday, she attended the CEC meeting normally. We have had senior members of the party contest as independents before.” Namanya said.
Kadaga is poised to be made the second female vice president after Specioza Wandira Kazibwe according to rumors.
However, according to other rumors, she does not want the role as it makes her less vocal and influential.

![[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.
