President Yoweri Museveni has this afternoon rushed to Nakasero hospital where the speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga is admitted after an illness developed on Thursday.
According to a statement from Kadaga’s Principal Press Secretary Sam Obbo, the speaker is only affected by fatigue.
“The Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Rebecca Kadaga, is currently being managed by doctors at Nakasero Hospital, over fatigue. She was admitted yesterday soon after her return from a10-day hectic working tour to Morocco and the United States of America,” the statement reads in part.
“While abroad, she steadfastly advocated for better policies for women and children, in Uganda and across the globe. Due to the hectic work schedule, fatigue and jet lag, she has had to be admitted in hospital,” the statement adds.
According to Nile Post, Museveni who was on the way to State House Nakasero was informed on Kadaga’s health condition, prompting him to switch convoy route and dash to the facility.
