Fellow Citizens:
It does appear that the so called MPs have put their interest,( and rightly so since most were compromised by Museveni's NRM dictatorship...remember the 5,000 dollar bonus given to MP who in return would vote for Museveni's third term) before the interest of the nation. As I write the MP's have voted to allowed Museveni proceed with his quest for the "third term" how much more can one become a traitor to the nation? Now that the did is done this dishonorable MP's can only wait for the repercussions to their actions.

THE DEBATE ON AMENDING THE 1995 CONstitution to remove presidential term limits took on a heated tone last week, with some opposition legislators threatening to take up arms to fight government if the limits were removed and President Museveni allowed to run for a third term in 2006, two decades after he took power.
For 10 years, Museveni ruled as unelected president, then organised elections in 1996, which he won with a landslide. In 2001, he organised another election and said the next five years would be his last in office.
When the debate resumes in parliament this week, we hope that MPs will adopt a more sober and constructive approach, putting Uganda's long term interests and those of future generations first. There is no call to threaten armed insurrection, from which Uganda has suffered irreplaceable loss of life, limb and property.
