Hon. Gilbert Olanya has called for the rejection of the Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026, criticizing it for proposing a punitive sanctions regime and warning of its potential economic impact, while urging that it be withdrawn, redrafted, and reintroduced with more proportionate penalties. #ChimpReportsNews #PlenaryUg Details: bit.ly/2OqE00M

MP Betty Nambooze has rejected the Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026, citing limited public participation, arguing that the committee considered only two submissions while disregarding views from over 700 entities, which she says undermines citizens’ right to be heard. #ChimpReportsNews #PlenaryUg Details: bit.ly/2OqE00M

Hon. Medard Sseggona, in a minority report, has described the Protection of Sovereignty Bill as misconceived, arguing it addresses no identifiable legal gap and lacks constitutional grounding, noting that sovereignty under Uganda’s Constitution rests with the people, not the State, and adding that the Bill has faced rejection from the President, key stakeholders, and its own sponsor. #ChimpReportsNews #PlenaryUg Details: bit.ly/2OqE00M
