Uganda Draft Order

In Uganda, the final draft of a bill has recently been given to parliament to approve. However, it would drastically impair freedom of speech and expression and many of its points do not follow the international law. One of its points allows violence to restore order if the person will not come willingly, no matter what crime they committed. Also, Activists for Change (A4C) a non-profit organization that protested poor governance and corruption. This bill needs to be revised. First, it should follow international law and should not be banning a non profit movement. The government should be worried about properly representing and governing its people, not protesters trying to get a greater reforms. Hopefully, parliament will accept changes and choose to properly govern its people.
