The Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga has said she remains focused on retaining her job as speaker despite calls she be appointed Vice President.
Kadaga says the position of the Vice President does not wield authority and power.
She said she has heard information to persuade her to accept the position of Vice President currently occupied by Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi.
Kadaga was meeting the elected members of parliament from Busoga region to seek their support
Her comments come on the heels of a heightened campaign for the country’s number three position that her deputy Jacob Oulanyah wants to take.
Today, the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) is set to meet according to reports, to discuss the race.
Kadaga and Oulanyah are both NRM leaders.
