The Attorney General, Kiryowa Kiwanuka, has publicly defended the Sovereignty Bill, but critics contend his arguments promote an idealized draft rather than the bill as it stands.
This perspective suggests Bwana AG is advocating for legislation he would have preferred to author, overlooking key flaws in the current version.
Such a stance raises questions about the bill’s true impact on Uganda’s legal framework and national interests.
The debate highlights tensions between government defenders and those calling for rigorous scrutiny.
