1st Deputy Prime Minister of Uganda and Minister for East African Community Affairs Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga has expressed mutual interest in meeting a Jinja School girl named after her.
Kadaga, a former speaker of parliament expressed that she would be meeting the schoolgirl of Jinja Progressive Academy (JPRA) at the beginning of next month.
“I will meet the young Rebecca Kadaga in the first week of June, I will get in touch with the Headteacher at JIPRA,” Kadaga tweeted.
The former speaker’s decision came after a plea by the schoolgirl through the Daily Monitor in which she made a wish to meet the Kamuli Woman MP to clear her confusion with the name.
The 17-year-old Rebecca Kadaga says she looks up to the Minister and wants to study law to be like her.
She however claimed that despite being famous for sharing a name with the Minister, she has yearned to meet her in vain.
“The problem is that it's very difficult to meet her. I really want to meet her in person because I've never,” Kadaga said.
