RE: SPEAKERSHIP RACE
I wish to draw the attention of the public to the matters regarding the Speakership race.
After wide consultations and deep introspection, and to maintain harmony and clarity in my beloved party, the @NRMOnline, I wish to categorically and unequivocally state that I will not be offering myself for the Speakership race of the 12th Parliament.
I am greatly indebted to H.E @KagutaMuseveni, my party, the @NRMOnline, and members of the 11th Parliament for giving me the opportunity to serve as Deputy Speaker and Speaker.
I am equally indebted to my family and friends for the solidarity and support they have extended to me over the last five years.
I pledge my total support to the candidates who will be endorsed by the President and the Party, and Implore all colleague MPs of the 12th Parliament to do the same.
I shall remain available to the service of my country as the party and the President may assign me.
In the meantime, I pledge to continue cooperating with all ongoing investigations as initiated by the relevant organs of the state to get to the root of all the allegations raised.
FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY.

VIDEO: A large police flatbed recovery truck arrived at embattled outgoing Parliament Speaker Anita Amongโs residence in Kigo at around 7:15pm.
As @DavidAjuna1 reported earlier, a source speaking on condition of anonymity claimed a Rolls-Royce arrived at the residence on the evening of Sunday, May 10, during the El Clรกsico match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.
The source, who was found outside the facility before the heightened security deployment, said he has been among workers at the already-occupied residence, which is visibly still under finishing stages.
