        By far the Most selfish bill in the history of the Parliament of Uganda. The country doesn't need a life president and the people of Uganda have profusely rejected it, except those that directly benefit from it. It's meant to keep the president in power for life!!!!! #AgeLimitUg

        To put it into perspective, that is $3.5m dollars spent on an issue that is not urgent.

        It was a fake. They went to check bank accounts and there was no money.
