Mpuuga Seeks to Introduce 8  Bills on Electoral and Constitutional Reforms

The introduction of these private member bills is anticipated to take place next week.

Nyendo Mukungwe legislator Mathias Mpuuga has requested leave of Parliament to draft eight private member bills focused on electoral and constitutional reforms.

Mpuuga, who serves as the Deputy President of the National Unity Platform in Buganda, revealed this plan while addressing Catholics gathered at St Mathias Mulumba Kyebando in Mayuge district to honor the birthplace of Saint Matia Mulumba, one of Uganda's martyrs.

"I am seeking to introduce these bills to address pressing issues in our electoral and constitutional systems," Mpuuga stated.

"It's time for us to reform our laws and ensure that our democracy is strengthened."

Justice and Constitutional Affairs minister Norbert Mao has previously told the country that he was working on electoral reforms but Mr Mpuuga said the Democratic Party president is cooking up hot air.

Instead, he has not undertaken similar steps as Mr Mao indicated he was onto.

Mpuuga's move is seen as a significant step towards promoting democratic reforms in Uganda.

As a seasoned politician and former Leader of the Opposition, Mpuuga's efforts are expected to spark meaningful discussions and debates in Parliament.

"We need to ensure that our electoral processes are transparent, free, and fair," Mpuuga emphasized. "These reforms will help build confidence in our institutions and promote good governance."

The introduction of these private member bills is anticipated to take place next week.

This development is likely to generate significant interest and attention from various stakeholders, including civil society organisations, opposition parties, and the general public.

As Mpuuga presses for these reforms, his commitment to strengthening Uganda's democracy is evident. "We owe it to ourselves, our children, and future generations to create a better Uganda," he concluded.
