Cardinal Emmanuel Wamala has asked the members of the police force to respect the uniform they put on and the civilians whose tax the government uses to buy policemen uniforms.

Preaching in the morning mass at Rubaga Catholic Cathedral in Kampala today, the cardinal told the policemen to respect the constitution of Uganda, other laws of Uganda, inherent human rights, Police ethics and the pips on their shoulders.

The Cardinal says that it is unholy for police offices to receive bribes, mistreat suspects, and grab peoples’ property. He says it bad for the police to put allegence to president Museveni.

Cardinal Wamala says it is better for the police to remember that allegiance is to Ugandans and not president Museveni.

This week MPs have been circulating a document in the parliament collecting signatures to impeach President Yoweri Museveni on grounds of abuse of office, violation of the oath of allegiance, misconduct, failure to address unemployment and public service delivery.

The MPs led by Aruu County MP Odonga Otto and Rubaga South MP, Ken Lukyamuzi allege that the president has been using his office to facilitate corruption, failed to crack a whip against his corrupt ministers and recklessly use public funds, which the MPs claim is the cause of the skyrocketing inflation in Uganda.

So today we have decided to tell you how a president ofUgandacan be legally impeached. Article 107(1) of the Constitution of Uganda provides how the President may be removed from the office in accordance with this article on any of the following grounds.
(a) Abuse of office or willful violation of the oath of allegiance and the presidential oath or any provision of this constitution;

(b) Misconduct or misbehavior (I) that he or she has conducted himself in a manner which brings or is likely to bring the office of president into hatred, ridicule, contempt or disrepute
(ii) that he or she has dishonestly done any act or omission which is prejudicial or inimical to the economy or security of Uganda.

Article 81 (4-5) of the Constitution requires every person elected to parliament of Uganda to take oath of allegiance and the oath of Member of Parliament before assuming office.

Uganda laws further provide that no person shall sit or vote in Parliament before taking and subscribing the oaths. Brenda Nabukenya, who is a member of the Democratic Party, will take oath at 10:00am and she is only allowed to come along with only five people.

Nabukenya was elected MP during the recently concluded Luweero district woman MP by elections in which Ms Rebecca Nalwanga, of the ruling National Resistance Movement lost her reelection bid. The seat fell vacant after the High Court nullified the election victory of Nalwanga citing voter bribery.
