"Government should think of restoring Presidential term limits." Kiwanda

 

Former State Minister for Tourism who is also the National Resistance Movement - NRM Vice Chairperson Buganda region Hon Godfrey Kiwanda Suubi while appearing on one of the media stations yesterday 11th August said that one of the problems Uganda's politics is facing is the unclear future of people in power with masses unsure whether they will ever see a peaceful change of power. 

According to Kiwanda, the restoration of Presidential term limits will give hope to Ugandans that at a certain point in time, a President will leave and some one else will come in just as it is happening in Kenya.

Kiwanda said that forlong, one of the complaints that the opposition has raised is the unforeseen future of life after President Museveni which is true because like in most countries where leaders have overstayed in power,  the countries face alot of challenges transiting from them to the next leaders with most of them waiting to just be forced out of power that causes suffering and anarchy. 

Kiwanda added that Kenya learnt from its mistakes of its past leaders like the late  Daniel Arap Moi  who led the country for 24 years and also the aftermath of the 2007 elections that led to the death of many people.  He said it was on this background  that the Kenya made clear laws to see that nothing of the sort ever happens in the future. 

He said that it could therefore  be in good faith for Uganda to learn from its past and restore the Presidential term limits other than waiting for the bad days to happen again like in the 80s where over 1 million people perished in the bush war and properties destroyed that led to the total break down of the country.
