uganda: Why Uganda Human Rights Commission Must Stay

Recently, the Cabinet proposed that the Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC), be abolished and its duties transferred to the Inspectorate of Government (IGG). Although this was just a proposal to the Constitutional Review Commission, it should never have even been suggested because such a move would be anti-people, a betrayal to the United Nations and against the Constitution, argues Nathan Byamukama, head of department monitoring and treatise at UHRC. Byamukama was writing in The Monitor newspaper.
