We have to fight and resist the idea of turning the very powerful idea of women empowerment into a euphemism to strictly mean the empowerment of Rebecca Kadaga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NRM as a liberation movement resolved to uphold, respect and elevate the involvement of women, youth and the elderly in the determination of questions of our country’s destiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In line with this philosophy, NRM nurtures and breeds women leading, one of whom is Kadaga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2011 when she became the first female Speaker, Parliament had existed for 90 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 100 years of Parliament today, we have only one woman who has become Speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NRM needs to elevate Kadaga to another deserving deployment so that Oulanyah becomes Speaker and he will be deputised by a woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This way, in the next 10 years, we will have the second woman Speaker of Parliament. It must not take 90 years ever again for that to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other women leaders must be groomed by the same system that has groomed and given Kadaga the opportunity to become who she is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When she gets stuck in Speakership, she clogs the wheel of women empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unless the idea is to have her as the first and last woman Speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The younger women coming on board must rise, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They deserve to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The women empowerment campaign cannot focus on one person and miss this point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She has served at this level. It’s time to rise and create more room for future Kadagas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
