{UAH} Is Uganda ruled by decree?

Baboons, 

Here is the answer to my question. It will enter under some Baboons' skins 

Uganda is not officially ruled by decree, as it operates under a constitutional framework with an elected government. However, concerns have been raised about the concentration of power in the executive branch, particularly under President Yoweri Museveni, who has been in power since 1986. Critics argue that his administration has undermined democratic institutions, suppressed opposition, and restricted civil liberties, creating a system that functions more like an authoritarian regime - decree.

Key points I can cite include:

1. Extended Presidential Tenure: Constitutional amendments, such as the removal of presidential term and age limits, have allowed Museveni to remain in power for nearly four decades.

2. Weakening of Institutions: There are claims that the judiciary and parliament lack independence and are influenced by the executive branch.

3. Suppression of Opposition: The government has been accused of using security forces to crack down on political opponents, media, and activists.

While Uganda has regular elections, their credibility has been questioned due to allegations of voter intimidation, fraud, and violence. These factors contribute to the perception that governance in Uganda leans toward autocratic practices, even if it is not formally a rule by decree.
