What a parting shot from the inimitable erudite Lord Justice Fredrick Egonda Ntende, the Chief Justice Uganda never had! All “chitijens”must listen. Justice must have compassion. Justice must have a soul!
The Sovereignty Bill should be withdrawn & reintroduced. Not a novel ask, in 2023, AG @KiryowaKk himself moved to withdraw the Public Service Pension Fund Bill after it was substantially amended. Same principle applies now. Withdraw. Consult. Reintroduce @Parliament_Ug
This is a very important paper. Probably, the Attorney General @KiryowaKk and the Minister of Justice @norbertmao will introduce legislation repealing the questionable provisions.
A well fought war Soldier of Justice (SoJ) @EsomuPeter & the entire legal team. I remember the very first meeting & the strategies we had to have @LIRA_UNIVERSITY on its knees. Congratulations to you Kule.🙏
THE AMENDMENTS, IF REAL, REQUIRE THE SAME EXACT PUBLIC CONSULTATION & INPUT THAT THE INITIAL DRAFT OF THE SOVEREIGNTY BILL REQUIRED. NOTHING LESS OR ELSE.
Churches on top of exploiting Ugandans, they are now seeking tax waivers. Where does @ChurchofUganda_ invest all the money it collects to qualify for tax waivers ?
According to the Destruction of Sovereignty Bill, a foreigner includes a Ugandan citizen who is residing abroad. Thus, if that person isn't a citizen in his/her country of residence (abroad), they are stateless (because the Bill takes away their citizenship)! @KiryowaKk
The Protection of the Sovereignity Bill, 2026 by implication seeks to Amend Articles 1 &2 of the Constitution of Uganda by limiting the people's Sovereignity.
Parliament has no mandate to amend Articles 1 & 2 unless the procedure under Article 260 is followed.
Reject the Bill!
Did the @mofpedU consult @BOU_Official before issuing the Certificate of Financial Implications for the Sovereignty bill? Did @rggoobi@AmosLugoloobi take into consideration what the Governor has described as ECONOMIC DISASTER before the joint Committee? #RejectTheSovereigntyBill
I made a post days back about rejecting the sovereignty bill and the response was worrying because people didn’t know what the bill entails.
Join us today at 7:30pm as we unpack the sovereignty bill. 🙏🏽
