Doctors under the Uganda Medical Association are calling for an Extra Ordinary General Assembly after successfully raising the signatures they need to censure their president, Dr. Samuel Oledo.
Dr. Ronald Kazibwe, a member of the association says by yesterday, a total of 425 doctors had participated in an online poll that he and colleague Gladys Atto generated following an incident on Saturday where Dr. Oledo publicly endorsed President Yoweri Museveni to stand for the presidency in 2026.
Dr. Oledo together with a group of others donning clinical coats had been attending an NRM Youth symposium in Kololo when they knelt before president Museveni and said the doctors of Uganda are asking him to stand for the presidency again, a position which was never endorsed by the members. However, Dr Herbert Luswata, the UMA Secretary General said the National Executive Committee is looking into the matter and an appropriate communication will be made when the matter is resolved. END
