SV: {UAH} Matembe calls for resistance against Gen. Kayihura’s gag on Age Limit debate

Yeah Bob,

Hence no issues are discussed with substance.

Some of our revered opinion leaders have adamantly declined to cross-check what they see in the media before reacting to it. They will fall on the fake news sword any moment.They can't be this gullible and promise any useful change!

The story was baseless if not planted.

Former

minister for ethics and integrity, Miria Matembe has called

on Ugandans 'to wake up' and resist the removal of the

presidential age limit."I

am calling upon this God, who is in our country's motto

'For God and My Country' to wake up Ugandans who are in

deep sleep so that they can get up and resist the amendment

of the age limit," she said while appearing on NBS

TV Thursday. ISSUED GAG ORDER:

Gen.Kale KayihuraOn

the ban on the age limit debate by the Inspector General of

Police General Kale Kayihura, Matembe, who was a member of

the Constitutional Commission that created the Ugandan

Constitution, says 'there is no smoke without

fire'."Now

that it has come out, we must debate it by now. Because once

bitten, twice shy," the ferocious Matembe said, noting

that since presidential term limit was removed, Ugandans

can't take chances anymore."It

has come again…Therefore for us we must start debating it

now. Age limit is not a small issue, it is a fundamental

issue. It is a matter like retirement. This Constitution has

got age limit for specific officers. Even retirement for

Presidents is provided for. Now, why do you say that if

Ugandans want, they must debate…. I mean; should Ugandans

debate as to whether a criminal should be prosecuted or

not?"Because

if there is a law that once you steal, you should be

prosecuted. Should we have arguments to say; those who

don't want to be prosecuted should debate it or not….

There is a clear law that once a President at

75…retirement. You can't go beyond that. Why are they

saying; it should be discussed? Majority of Ugandans whether

rural or urban don't want this age limit amended," a

furious Matembe thundered.Matembe

was reacting to a yet-to-be gazetted Constitution amendment

Bill which contains a clause to remove the presidential age

limit.The

Bill will soon be in parliament that is dominated by MPs

from President Yoweri Museveni's party, the National

Resistance Movement (NRM).Matembe,

who was once a strong supporter of Museveni and a minister,

fell out with him in 2003 over the removal of the

presidential term limits.Appearing

on BBC Radio last week, she said that while creating the

Uganda constitution, the two vital laws that they included

in the document were the presidential term and age

limits."This

was to avoid a reoccurrence of coup detats and bloodshed

that had previously characterized the country. But now, term

limits were removed. Now they want to remove even the

remaining limit on a president's age," Matembe

said.
