KAMPALA – The Speaker of Parliament the Rt. Hon Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga has said she prayed to God to keep her alive.

The Speaker was addressing members of the Uganda Women Parliamentary Association (UWOPA), who paid a courtesy visit to welcome her back on duty.
The chairperson of UWOPA Pamela Kamugo also Woman Member of Parliament for Budaka District told the speaker that as their patron, there are a number of bills that are backed by UWOPA that remain stalled and that they would need her effort to push for them to be passed.
