Youth and students  from Makerere University have staged a peaceful demonstration demanding parliament to consider and pass the National Biotechnology and Biosafety Bill 2012 which they think has over stayed in parliament. The youth gathered at Imperial Royale hotel in Kampala demonstrating against the members of parliament and ministers’ failure to adhere to farmers and students demand to approve and pass the National Biotechnology and Biosafety Bill 2012.

Youth who demonstrated while holding placards said that the passing of this bill will enable the farmers to access planting seedlings with some technology to resist diseases and drought to benefit farming in terms of having better yields which are not affected by diseases. One of the youth who led others Jonan Tuinamasiko said that if this bill is passed into law, there will be better yields for farmers to sale and create jobs to unemployed people especially the youth. Victoria Nakimera , a student at Makerere University says, that government should hear their call on passing this bill

The  National  bio safety and technology bill has faced numerous challenges as many Ugandans both scientists and non scientists have come out strongly to oppose it on grounds that it will introduce un healthy consumable products into the country.
