Eight vie to replace Kasamba in EALA
Days after the Speaker of the East African Legislative Assembly declared one position vacant at the Assembly after the death of Uganda’s representative, Mathias Kasamba, more than eight people have shown interest in the seat.
Majority of those that have so far shown interest are mainly those that lost in the just concluded parliamentary elections or those that were recently dropped from cabinet by President Museveni on Tuesday this week.
