WOMEN SERVED WITH POLITCAL DILEMMA’S AS LEADERSHIP TREAT

The recurrent challenges women political leaders continue to face as they lead form ethical dilemmas that require deliberation, review and prescription in terms of remedies for the quota system and affirmative action initiatives to meet their targets. The paper presents results from a study on the ethical implications of women’s participation in political leadership; the case of the Uganda parliament with a world view of ethical challenges that have been identified by scholars and yet again found to still build up in a system that has been executed for over 20 years in Uganda with minimal transformative impact. Opines emerging out of the existing literature are discussed against the identified challenges from the field findings and some remedial agenda is sketched in the paper leaving a latent task that demands for study to be conducted into remedies for the challenges in order to attain more effective women political leadership.
