The NRM treasurer Rosemary Namayanja has come out to clarify on how the NRM CEC has no intentions of punishing Kamuli woman MP Hon Rebecca Kadaga.

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.
