Agnes Kunihira Abwooli walked away with the Female Workers seat for parliament without breaking a sweat. Dr Tanga Odoi announced Monday at NRM headquarters that her rival had dropped out of the race. The party boss confirmed Kunihira as their only candidate after nominations closed that same day. Workers and party members kept faith with her for another term. She expressed gratitude to everyone who supported her bid.
Kunihira jumped straight into policy talk after securing her position. Arts teachers earn much less than Science teachers and she wants this fixed. The strikes happening across schools stem from real problems and genuine complaints. She plans to meet President Museveni about teacher pay gaps. Kunihira believes the upcoming discussion will produce actual results for educators.
The MP candidate also attacked the growing trend of casual employment contracts. Companies hire skilled workers on short-term deals instead of permanent jobs. This practice hurts worker security and takes away their dignity. Qualified professionals deserve better than temporary gig work. Uganda needs to completely rethink how employers treat their staff.
Parliament already passed the Employment Bill but President Museveni has not signed it. Kunihira urged him to approve the law quickly. Delays only make worker exploitation worse across the country. The President asked for more information about minimum wage levels. Officials will study different sectors to set fair pay standards for various industries.
