Namuganza made these comments while presiding at a function in Busoga.
During that function, Namuganza handed over shillings 50 million from President Yoweri Museveni for the construction of Namutumba church.
The money was handed over to the Archbishop Church of Uganda Steven KaziImba by the State Minister for Lands, Housing and Urban Development Persis Namuganza at Ivukula Anglican church.
Namuganza said the president was committed to providing more funds towards construction of the shillings 3 billion cathedral belonging to the central Busoga diocese.
She accused some members of parliament of conniving with some government officials who are opposed to the manner in which she executes her duties in order to make her lose her cabinet position.
“They are now somewhere trying to seek ways to see me fall down but this will not scare me,” she said.
She urged the committee set up to monitor the progress on construction of the cathedral ensure transparency while handling funds ensure the project is completed within the next three years.
“Let every shillings meant for this cathedral be put into proper use ensure its complete within the agreed period of time “she said.

“I know they will reach a time when they realize that am not to be black listed but white listed “she said amidst applause from supporters.
