Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Nobert Mao, has reiterated his dedication to presenting the necessary constitutional and electoral reforms to Parliament before the 2026 general elections, despite ongoing delays.
Mao emphasized that these reforms remain a top priority for his ministry. "We are committed to ensuring that the reforms are tabled in Parliament before the 2026 elections," he stated.
However, the Minister revealed that the planned establishment of a law reform commission, which had been previously promised, is no longer feasible due to current circumstances.
His comments were made during his appearance before the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee, where he presented the Budget Framework Paper for the 2025/2026 fiscal year.
Mao also expressed concern over budget cuts, highlighting how they could impact key projects, including the construction of the African Humanitarian Agency offices and the completion of the Justice, Law, and Order Sector (JLOS).
Addressing another pressing issue, Mao acknowledged the mishandling of delayed cattle compensation and proposed the creation of a war victim compensation fund to streamline all compensation efforts.
Additionally, Mao noted the international repercussions of Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act, which has led to reduced external financial support from international partners
