The Grind-Patrick Kamara Hosts Hon. Princess Persis Namuganza
Members of the 12th Parliament are upbeat about joining the House next month for their swearing-in.
At the moment, however, the main topic of discussion in the corridors of Parliament and across the political landscape is who will become the next Speaker and Deputy Speaker.
At least five people have so far expressed interest in the top seat, currently held by Annet Anita Among, who is seeking a second term. Other NRM MPs in the race include Florence Akiiki, Lydia Wanyoto, Alioni Odria, and Persis Namuganza, while DP’s Norbert Mao—whose party has a cooperation agreement with the NRM signed in 2022—has also expressed interest.
As the deciding day draws closer for the real showdown, the contest has raised the stakes on who is best suited to uphold the sanctity of Parliament or restore the pride of the second arm of government.
This 12th Parliament will be crucial in shaping Uganda’s political future, especially at a time many have described as a transition period. Members of Parliament must rise to the occasion and make the right choice in the Speakership electoral process, as their decision is expected to determine whether Uganda progresses or regresses in democratic and good governance principles.
In this episode of The Grind with Patrick Kamara, the host engages one of the contenders, Hon. Princess Persis Namuganza, on her bid, her departure from the image of the 11th Parliament, and her vision for the 12th House.
