Kiiza, the first woman to hold the position of Leader of Opposition in Parliament in Uganda was appointed in May of 2016, at the time when Mutu was Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) President.

However, in a reshuffle of the opposition leadership effected by Gen Muntu’s successor, Patrick Amuriat last week, Kiiza was replaced by Gulu district woman MP, Betty Aol Ochan.

When the changes were announced, some individuals within the FDC including the others that were dropped described the reshuffle as a deliberate move to reward those who supported his bid against Muntu last year.

In a statement released Thursday, Muntu gave credit to Kiiza for pushing for democracy with distinction.

“Her leadership has without doubt been the most successful when it comes to bringing together members of various political parties, including the ruling party, bold enough to stand for the people,” Muntu said.

“As the first woman to occupy this position post independence, Hon Kiiza has not only demonstrated to Ugandans the capacity women have to govern well, but is also proof that our country is not short of able democratic and people centred leaders”.

Muntu also applauded the other leaders with whom Kiiza served, including Cecilia Ogwal, Abdu Katuntu, Reagan Okumu, Semujju Nganda, Angeline Ossege and P.P Okeen, for their hard work and their contribution towards furthering democracy, justice and the rule of law.

Their actions and under their respective leadership roles, challenged government to serve the nation better, he said.
