They will surely raise "embatta in the villages ... let them still fool around! We suggest that all such MP's should and must be banned from Uganda politics for NOT less then 15 years!!!!! Should Museveni go! Surely the future of the Republic cannot be determined by men and women who lack Principle and think first in terms of the Stomach other then the Interest of the Nation.

The Uganda People's Congress (UPC) has condemned the MPs who voted in favour of lifting the presidential term limits, popularly known as Kisanja.
During voting to amend the Constitution on Tuesday, 230 MPs supported Constitutional Amendment No.3, which paves way for the lifting of term limits.
Fifty MPs voted against it, while one abstained.
Badru Wegulo, the UPC Constitutional Steering Commission (CSC) chairperson, yesterday said the 230 MPs surrendered to greed when they opted to support the amendment.

"UPC congratulates the 51 MPs who voted in accordance with their conscience and condemns the 230 MPs who surrendered to greed. UPC warns that history will judge the greedy MPs more harshly for entrenching a one man's rule and their families will stand to regret," Wegulo said at the UPC weekly press conference at Uganda House yesterday.
The deputy chairperson of the CSC, Livingstone Okello Okello, said the NRM government had perfected the art of 'bribing' MPs, most of whom voted in its favour on Tuesday.
