Uganda: Ugandan NGOs against "life presidency"

About 90 non-government organisations have opposed a proposal in the Constitution Amendment Bill, 2005, to lift presidential term limits. The NGOs are under an umbrella body called the Coalition for Constitutional Amendments. "Lifting term limits is to ignore the very lessons we claim to have learnt," the National Coordinator of the Human Rights Network, Mr Martin Masiga, also co-ordinating the Uganda Human Rights House Project, told journalists at Collin Hotel.
