Kabanda was speaking in light of the recent clash between Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja and State Minister for General Duties, Hon Justine Kasule Lumumba, stemming from their controversial trip to the US last week. 

The Prime Minister publicly criticized Lumumba for traveling to the UN General Assembly without her approval, while the Minister insisted that her trip was related to participating in the UN's Sustainable Development Goals meeting.

In a widely circulated social media video, Hon Kabanda drew a comparison between this conflict and women quarreling over cosmetics.
