For the second time in less than six months, the Speaker of Uganda’s Parliament Rebecca Kadaga has stopped the Forum for Democratic Change from changing the leadership of the House Accountability Committees.

Ms Kadaga announced at a press conference on January 3 that the leadership of the Committee on Statutory Authorities and State Enterprises (Cosase) would stay beyond its tenure of two-and-a-half years, until it has completed a probe into Bank of Uganda’s closure of several commercial banks.
