        African Leaders. They spend all their life in govt and have little or nothing to show. Many nations in the continent remain underdeveloped. All they do is loot and rob generations unborn of a decent life and future.

        Life presidency endorsed by our corrupt legislators who have also rewarded them selves with extension of their term from 5yrs to 7yrs effective this parliament. And the was an agreement between MUSEVEN and legislators in exchange for age limit

        Self-enslavement is a thing. It is happening around the world where the legislature in the Western nations and the legislature in downtrodden economies of the world have found common ground- to kowtow to the egos of emerging despots.

        A distructive act by #Ugandan Parliament and a damaging knock to constitutional democracy in Africa. Just prolonging the inevitable.
