AGE LIMIT: Kadaga Adjourns Parliament Amidst Drama

The Ugandan parliament has adjourned after a raucous day in which MPs brawled in the chamber amid accusations that some members were carrying firearms.

The adjournment followed repeated procedural objections to attempts to begin a debate about a controversial proposed constitutional change.

If the proposed change goes ahead on lifting the presidential age limit from 75, it could give President Yoweri Museveni, who has been in power for more than 30 years, a chance to stand for another term in office.

Today’s parliamentary order paper did not show the removal of the age limit on the list. However, the list was later amended.

Parliament is due to reconvene tomorrow at 14:00 local time (11:00 GMT)
