Speaker of Parliament Anita Among has vowed to do everything within her reach to ensure the ruling National Resistance Movement pushes its agenda through Parliament without setbacks.
Speaking at an event organised by the Patriotic League of Uganda, Among said she is fully committed to delivering on the party’s priorities and ensuring a smooth legislative process.
“I will spend whatever it takes to get what we want. For your information, members, I can proudly say we didn’t have opposition in the 11th Parliament, and for the 12th Parliament is going to be walloped. This is going to be the easiest Parliament,” Among said.
She also used the platform to respond to critics who have questioned her political background, particularly her past association with the Forum for Democratic Change.
Among insisted that she is now firmly rooted in the NRM and fully aligned with its leadership.
“They say I came from the FDC; I am now in the ruling party and firmly grounded in it. I am like a jigger. I came from humble beginnings, like grass, and I am going nowhere. If they tell us to shift to PLU, I will run faster than anybody,” she said.
