The Deputy Attorney General, Jackson Kafuuzi has refuted reports that the government is set to kick off countrywide consultations on whether the Constitution should be amended to have Parliament elect the president.
This followed rumors in corridors of power that have been making rounds that the regime has been quietly mooting the idea of the Parliamentary system, something Kafuuzi said is not true.
Kafuuzi tweeted that the alleged impending amendment to the constitution through a constitutional review commission is not true and whoever is circulating it must be attempting to fulfill his or her own intentions.
Frank Tumwebaze, the Minister of Agriculture said whether the information is true or false, there is no harm in reviewing the constitution through a participatory consultative process.
The leader of the National Unity Platform (NUP), Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine said the people of Uganda must not underestimate the new scheme because this is how all the past schemes started, including removing term limits and age limits from the Constitution.
Kyaulanyi said he is very grateful to Uganda for the pressure these past three years, Ugandans have exposed the president and made him do the most shameless, unthinkable things.
