Speaker of parliament Annet Anita Among has vowed that she will by all means make sure she maintains her seat as parliament boss.
Among was attending the launch of the Uganda Parliamentary Forum aiming to end child marriage and teenage pregnancy.
Among who once worked as a house girl, local alcohol seller and a cleaner at Centenary Bank after running away from home following rejections from her father made significant calls in the fight of early marriages in the country.
She rejected the calls for the use of contraceptives among the young girls, saying that despite poverty, teenagers should know what they want in life and delay to have children.
The mother of twins shared that her father wanted to force her into childhood marriage the way he did to her elder sisters.
She, however, urged the teens to defy attempts to ruin their future through early marriage and pregnancies.
Among decried parents and certain cultural practices that allegedly aid the early marriages.
