Speaker Anita Among Sends Ex Speaker Kadaga A Cryptic Birthday Message Weeks After Calling Her An Old Busoga Woman Fighting Her – See Why She Now Calls Kadaga Her ‘Mom’

Speaker of the 11th Parliament, Annet Anita Among has honoured her predecessor, Rebecca Kadaga, on her birthday, describing her as a dedicated leader.

The speaker, in her honourable message to the now first deputy prime minister and minister for East African Community Affairs [Kadaga], commended her for the profound leadership that has laid a significant foundation for the legislative progress.

“I join fellow citizens in extending heartfelt birthday wishes to our esteemed Speaker Emeritus, Rt Hon Rebecca Kadaga. Your unwavering dedication and profound leadership gave laid a robust foundation for our legislative progress,” Among wrote on “X” handle.

She added that; “May your special day be filled with joy, and may the coming year bring you continued happiness, fulfilment, and recognition for your invaluable contributions to our nation. Long live Mama Waife!”

Kadaga who served as deputy speaker and full speaker of parliament for two political terms respectively, celebrated her 68th birthday Thursday May 23, 2024.It is worth noting that the two leaders have reportedly not been good friends and Among’s beautiful message to Kadaga has caught many by surprise.

A few months ago, Among came under more fire after revelations of her alleged binge spending using taxpayers moneys emerged during the UgandaParliamentExhibition, an anti-corruption campaign that was run on social media platform X. Aired out were allegations of tonnes of cash Among had used purportedly for personal enrichment.

It should be remembered that in March this year, Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among claimed that former Speaker Rebecca Kadaga, might be a major factor in the public’s call for accountability surrounding the House’s extravagant expenditures.

Among’s claim did not only draws attention to the growing strains in the political sphere, but it also emphasized the complexity of power relationships and accountability in government. This information demanded a more thorough examination of Among’s objectives as well as any possible ramifications for the current discussion on accountability and transparency inside the legislature.

Secondly, this also showed that the current Speaker Among is not ready at all to hearken to the demand by the public to account for the lavish spending in the August House by the top leaders as displayed in the social media.Ugandans have been exposing corruption within the House on social media for the past month, especially under the hashtag ‘UgandaParliamentExhibition.’

Many people were horrified by the exhibition’s disclosures, which show how lawmakers are using public funds for personal expenses. The extensive release of these results has provoked indignation and brought up important questions about accountability and transparency in public spending.
