The meeting chaired by President Yoweri Museveni also voted four members to the NRM Caucus executive including Herbert Kinobere as Vice chairperson, Lilian Aber as General Secretary, Nakut Faith as Treasurer and Brandon Kintu as Publicity Secretary.

For 20 years, Kakooza represented Kabura County in Parliament of Uganda. He also served as state minister for Primary Health Care. 

Upon confirmation by the Parliament of Uganda, Kakooza will be joining eight EALA MPs in Arusha Tanzania to complete the last year remaining on their five-year term.
