Former Speaker of Parliament and now 1st Deputy Prime Minister has not shown up for the handover ceremony where she was supposed to receive a brand new Land Cruiser from Speaker Rt. Hon. Anitah Among.

Hon. Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga was among the five living former Speakers of Parliament who were to receive the cars today 18th December, 2023 at Parliament.The other recipients who actually turned up are Al Hajji Moses Kigongo, Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi, Francis Butagira and Prof. Edward Rugumayo.

According to the recent enacted Parliamentary Pensions Act, former Speakers of Parliament will receive brand-new vehicles every 5 years and Parliament is responsible for the maintenance of the vehicles and payment of the drivers’ salaries.The brand new Land Cruisers cost over 600m each and consume about Shs700,000 700k full tank.

While handing over the vehicles, Speaker Anitah Among revealed that Parliament will be giving the former Speakers new cars every 5 years, & the cost of fuel, maintenance & salaries of the drivers of the vehicles will be paid by Parliament. She also says, that should the car get a problem before expiry of five years, the recipient can be given a brand new one as a replacement.

“As the 11th Parliament, we thought it wise to appreciate you when you are still alive,” said Among.

“Parliament will maintain and fuel these cars. But Parliament will after every 5 years be giving you a new car. Or in between when the car gets a problem, you will bring it back and we give you a new car. You are property of Government of Uganda, so we are supposed to look after you,” said Anitah Among.

Speaker Among also noted that the recent enactment of the Parliamentary Pensions Act expanded the beneficiaries to include all Speakers who served Uganda since 1979 and thus entitling; President Museveni, Chairman of NRC 1986-1996, Edward Rugumayo Speaker and Chairman NCC from 1979-1980, Francis Butagira 1980-1985, Al Haji Moses Kigongo, Vice Chairman NRC 1986-1996, Edward Ssekandi 1998-2001 Deputy Speaker and Speaker of 7th and 8th Parliament, to these cars every five years.

Kadaga’s conspicuous absence has left many people asking why the former Speaker snubbed the event with many wanting to know whether she sent a representative to pick the vehicle on her behalf or not.
