Civil Society Organisations in Uganda have Thursday urged President Yoweri Museveni to reaffirm his position he made in a television interview in 2012 that he would not seek another term as President after he clocks 75 years.
“The President should come out and reaffirm his position made in 2012 that he will not seek another term as president after he clocks 75 years,” they said in a statement released today in Kampala.
The CSO leaders also condemned the arrest of journalists, Members of Parliament and activists following debates on lifting the presidential age limit from the Constitution.
In a statement signed by 18 civil society organisations on September 28, 2017, the leaders stated: We…condemn in the strongest terms possible the brutal defilement of Parliament that happened yesterday. In the same breath, we condemn the shameful, barbaric and primitive of evil might by the security.”
A big section of Ugandans think that the proposal to removal the presidential age limit in the Constitution is meant to benefit President Museveni.
