No Third Term � Bidandi
by VISION REPORTER
Local Government Minister Bidandi Ssali has opposed calls for President Yoweri Museveni to be given a third term.
�This is diluting the constitution,� Bidandi, said on Super FM on Saturday morning. �If we allow this then next time someone doesn�t like anything in the constitution say, decentralisation or traditional leaders, he will simply cause a change. The constitution, which was so painstakingly drafted, will become a mere kisassalala (shell).�
The minister said that the 1994-95 Constituent Assembly agreed on the need to limit the presidential terms to two.
�The movementists, multipartyists and all other forces were unanimous that no individual, however good, should be allowed to be president for more than two terms.� recalled Bidandi.
