By KGR Reporter,
The ruling National Resistance Movement again used power of its numbers to easily sail through the controversial UPDF Act Amendment Bill (2025) through the legislature yesterday.
The Bill awaits assent by the President to become law.
The House presided over by Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Annet Anita Among easily sailed through despite protests from the opposition and some of the member of the Committees that scrutinized it.
Legislator like Erute East MP, Jonathan Odur who presented a minority report about the Bill like other MPs, warned of defects including the violation of the January 31st Supreme Court Ruling, the ruling of the Constitutional Court as well as the provisions of the 1995 Constitution. Hon. Odur speaking…….
However Odur’s voice together with that of his Kioga East counterpart Moses Okot seem to have fallen on deaf ears because the majority NRM legislatures were determined to pass it. END
