Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party secretary general, Ms Justin Kasule Lumumba, has said the former Speaker of Parliament, Ms Rebecca Kadaga, could face the party disciplinary committee for defying the party position.<\/p>\n

On the eve of the Speaker elections, the Central Executive Committee (CEC) fronted Mr Jacob Oulanyah as the party flag bearer and he went on to win the seat, with Anita Among as his deputy.<\/p>\n

Ms Kadaga accused the party of targeting her because of identifying with the ordinary people and stood as an Independent candidate.<\/p>\n

While responding to questions from journalists yesterday at the party secretariat in Kampala, Ms Lumumba said the party will take a stand if the issue is brought before CEC for discussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs NRM, we have our constitution where we have the forth schedule which is the code of conduct and there is prohibited behaviour. Part of it is that if you go against party decision, and if anybody raises complaint to the secretary general, it is taken to the disciplinary committee, which is chaired by the first national vice chairperson and there are punishments for those found guilty,\u201d Ms Lumumba said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey can caution you, they can propose to CEC to caution you, suspend you or expel you from the party,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Part of schedule four of the party constitution bars members from campaigning for a candidate sponsored by another political party or organisation, offering material support to a candidate sponsored by another political party or organisation and campaigning against the official party candidate.<\/p>\n

Ms Kadaga did not respond to our repeated calls yesterday to offer an explanation on her next course of action. Many of the party members who were on her team did not also respond to our calls.<\/p>\n

However, an inside source told this newspaper that President Museveni is already in dialogue with the former Speaker.<\/p>\n

The source said the party chairperson should be given the leeway to engage Ms Kadaga personally and that if he fails, the party organs can take action later.<\/p>\n

A number of members we reached out to did not respond to our calls. Capt Mike Mukula, the NRM vice chairperson for eastern region, said he was busy and could not offer his view. Mr Godfrey Kiwanda Suubi, the NRM vice chairperson for Central region, did not respond to our calls.<\/p>\n

Mr James Tweheyo, the chairperson of the NRM workers\u2019 league and a CEC member, however, said while he was not privy to the agenda for today\u2019s CEC meeting, he was pretty sure that the issue would come up for discussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not aware of the agenda for the meeting, but I am certainly sure we shall discuss it and make a stand. What we have always done is that we give the accused party a chance to put up a defence so that we hear their side of the story,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On the issue of dialogue and reconciliation, Mr Tweheyo said: \u201cWe have dealt with the worst case scenarios in the past and reconciled. But that depends on how the issues are handled.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Lumumba confirmed that CEC will sit today and would discuss the issue and forge a way forward.<\/p>\n

Appointment of committee members<\/b><\/p>\n

Ms Lumuba also said the party\u2019s CEC will today make appointments to different committees, starting with Appointments Committee of Parliament. The committee is charged with vetting the ministers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs NRM party, we have received a letter from the clerk and we are supposed to send 19 names. The CEC that is responsible for deploying members in Parliament to these committees will have a meeting tomorrow (today) and will consider submitting our 19 names,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

What NRM constitution says about indiscipline<\/b><\/p>\n
