In a groundswell of support, the people of Bukono Constituency and the Namutumba District Business Community have thrown their weight behind Minister Princess Persis Namuganza’s decision to contest for the Speaker of the 12th Parliament position.
Residents of Bukono Constituency, Namutumba District, are ecstatic after their own legislator, Minister Princess Persis Namuganza, declared her intent to contest for the position of Speaker of the 12th Parliament, commending her decision.
Speaking to the press, they stated that Namuganza’s decision is crucial as it showcases the constituency and Busoga at large to the country and the world, and this position comes with numerous benefits if she wins.
Additionally, they have rallied all MPs from Busoga and the entire country to support Princess Persis Namuganza, aiming to restore transparency and dignity to Parliament.
Namuganza is one of the few MPs from Busoga capable of presenting issues affecting the sub region.
Her decision is vital as it will provide an opportunity to address our concerns. We’re praying for her success,” they stated.
Dorothy Nantambi, a councilor of Kibale Town Council in the same constituency, also expressed her joy after Princess Persis Namuganza’s decision to contest for the position of Speaker, rallying MPs to vote for her.
