In Kampala–

The Minister of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), Beti Olive Namisango Kamya is set to be impeached as the President of the Uganda Federal Alliance (UFA) Party for supporting plans to remove presidential age limit.
Credible source from UFA has confirmed to www.mknewslink.com that a high level-meeting to be chaired by the party Acting Secretary General; Kennedy Oluma will sit tomorrow morning over what they call “reckless” statements being made by the minister in “total disregard” of the party’s position.
The source further confirms that Kamya’s recent comments in support of the removal of the age limit from the Constitution and saying President Museveni is more intelligent than the whole Cabinet combined, angered and embarrassed members who now want her to be excommunicated from the top leadership position.
When contacted, Mr Oluma confirmed the development saying Kamya individually joined the NRM government and that UFA party doesn’t agree with her position on the age limit.
He says Kamya joined the government as an individual while the party stands for federal ideology and there has never been any single plan of alliance with NRM.
He adds that UFA is against the constitutional amendment aimed at scrapping the age limit and Kamya is supporting it as person.

Oluma further explains that after a high level meeting of selected party leaders tomorrow, the National Executive Committee will immediately convene to expedite the impeachment process.
Kamya left the biggest opposition party, FDC and formed UFA in 2010.
She stood for president on UFA ticket in 2011 and came 5th with 52,782 votes that was equivalent of 0.6 percent of the total outcome.
In the 2016 elections she stood for Rubaga North but lost to Moses Kasibante.
On 6 June 2016, President Museveni appointed Kamya as the Minister in charge of KCCA affairs.
