The MP for Kampala Central, Mohammad Nsereko has told the media that the proposed ‘public order bill 2011’ is unconstitutional and all Ugandans should fight it off.

Nsereko has advised Uganda’s ruling party, the National Resistance Movement and the government in general to withdraw the bill in its totality.

Nsereko says that president Museveni and his government are bringing back colonial laws to muzzle people from expressing their views and opinions on matters that violate human dignity.

Nsereko further explains that if the bill is passed into law it will make life difficult for people who have seen the weaknesses of the government. MP Nsereko says that some of the clauses in the bill are a replica of the colonial laws drafted in 1939. MP Mohammad Nsereko also fears that if the bill is passed into law it will make Uganda into an absolute police state.
