Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga has secretly returned to Uganda after a month long of ailment at the Agha Khan Hospital in Nairobi Kenya. According to information Spy Uganda gathered from some of the members of parliament, revealed that Ms Kadaga returned on Saturday afternoon after being discharged by hospital management on Friday.
The speaker is currently resting and receiving private treatment at her residence in Muyenga, a Kampala suburb with the support of her close relatives. It has been established that her doctors have given her stringent measures restricting a mammoth of friends and top government officials from visiting her until she fully recovers.

As she was recovering from Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi, Ms Kadaga recorded an audio while thanking and appreciating all her well-wishers for the support and prayers they have extended to her.
She applauded love that President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni showered her out of his busy schedule he took time to check on her in Nakasero and Agha Khan Hospital.
She also thanked the support of First Lady, Mrs Janet Museveni, the Kyabazinga of Busoga, His Royal Highness William Gabula Nadiope, the Kabaka of Buganda, His Royal Highness Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II and the Queen of Buganda, Her Royal Highness Sylvia Nagginda.
The letter read below
“Fellow Ugandans, I send you greetings. As you are all aware, I fell ill on 21st March 2019 after returning from international engagements on behalf of Parliament and the country.
I was in Nakasero Hospital and later relocated to the Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi.
I am glad to report that due to God’s Mercy and untiring efforts of doctors in Uganda and Kenya, I do now have a better bill of health.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank fellow citizens and people of goodwill across the globe who have been praying for my quick recovery. In particular, I thank H. E the President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for his prompt concern and taking time off his very busy schedule to check on me in Nakasero and Aga Khan Hospitals.
I also extend special gratitude to the First Lady, Mrs Janet Museveni; the Kyabazinga of Busoga, His Royal Highness William Gabula Nadiope; the Kabaka of Buganda, His Royal Highness Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II; and the Queen of Buganda, Her Royal Highness Sylvia Nagginda.
In a similar vein, I hail religious leaders of diverse denominations; fellow Members of Parliament; Government officials; and various Ugandans for their concern at my state of health.
Finally, contrary to rumours in the press and social media, I am neither in Spain nor in critical condition.
Reporting facts on matters of public concern and holding onto the highest journalistic standards is a tenet I urge our media to uphold. I also urge them and the public to always seek information from official channels, and to desist from reporting biased and false information.
I would like to assure the country that I am still at Aga Khan Hospital and hope to be discharged soon.
I look forward to better health and to serving Ugandans once again.”
Ms Kadaga will take a bed rest of more than a month for her to fully recover and resume her parliamentary work according to a family source.
