Govt lifts age limits at local Govt level.
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Following a mix up in the constitution in regards the age limit for political contestants at local government level in issues of age, the president has finally given another wisdom to the nation by lifting the age limit for aspiring candidates for the position of chairperson at sub county, municipality, city division, town councils and municipal divisions.

Addressing journalists in Kampala today, the information and national guidance minister, Judith Nabakooba reveals that government agreed and amended the local government Act that had set an age limit to the above positions.

Prior to the amendment, any aspiring candidate had to be 30 years and above and not exceed 75 years to be political leaders at the local government level. Now the new amendments agreed and signed by the president abolish the above. Says the minister.

Nabakooba adds that starting with the ongoing electoral process, aspiring candidates for the position for the position of chairperson at local government level must only be 18 years and above. And this now addresses the complaints which had started arising from a number of candidates who wanted to contest.

A number of candidates has presented themselves for leadership thinking that the 2019 presidential and LC5 amendment had applied to these positions as well. And now all qualifying aspirants can go ahead with their plans to contest.

Before the amendments, the electoral commission had already agreed to extend the nomination exercise from the 2nd to 5th of October which is tomorrow.

In another development, Uganda will be marking her independence on 9th October under the theme, Uganda’s steady progress towards economic take off and self-sustaining economic growth.

After unveiling rocket mouthed journalist Bbwaddene Basajjamivule, the ruling National Resistance Movement party could yet again add to the number of it’s ever growing recruits from the Kamwokya based National Unity Paltform (NUP) opposition party. Unconfirmed reports coming in reveal that President Museveni chief fisherman Balaam Barugahara could yet again be on the verge of landing a very big fish for his master in the name of none other than the popular NUP singer Hillary Kiyaga aka Hilderman. The Mazongoto singer was set to challenge Trade Minister Amelia Kyambadde for the Mawokota MP seat before he reportedly chickened out in favor of a mega deal dangled before him by the cunning Museveni fixer Balaam. Hill Water It has been reported that the powerful Minister had over the last few months courted the events promoter Balaam in a bid to convince him plead with Hilderman to drop his parliamentary bid in exchange for some juicy offer from the ruling side. After a long period of playing hard to get, we have established that Hilderman, one of the few musicians that have stayed by Bobi Wine’s side through thin and thick has finally succumbed to Balaam’s trickery, giving up on his strong ally in the process. It’s also reported that Mr Kiyaga was set to meet the President in the past couple of days but the busy political schedule with the CEC and this week’s NRM primaries have continuously led to the deferral of the program. We have since learnt that a meeting between Hilderman and the President is on schedule before a mega announcement that would most certainly leave the NUP boss – Bobi Wine nursing a broken spine.
