        Meanwhile in Uganda, @KagutaMuseveni is so desperate to change the constitution on age-limit such that he can die in power!

        Correction. @KagutaMuseveni doesn't have the power 2 change the constitution. Depends on what the majority want. @BBCAfrica

        And what if the majority are bribed, isn't that power enough to change it? If you were Ugandan you would of course know this!

        Just so you know I have nothing against him. I just wish he respects the constitution and stops bribing people for his selfish interests.

        The constitution should reflect people's values and beliefs. I want lower age limit lowered to 18 or was I bribed by M7 too.
