Judge who rejected nullified age limit dies
In the petition against the removal of the age limit in 2018, Kakuru wrote a dissenting judgement where the constitutional court upheld parliament’s decision to remove the presidential age limit of 75 years which allowed Museveni to seek a 6th elective term in office.
“There is always danger that if the constitution is not strictly complied with, our hard earned democracy shall degenerate into authoritarianism which leads to totalitarianism and dictatorship”- said justice Kakuru who was the only dissenting judge on the lifting of the age limit.
The entire constitutional amendment act… is unconstitutional and therefore null and void, and all it’s provisions ought to be expunged from the constitution of Uganda”- Kakuru further said turning into a darling whom Ugandans hailed as a hero.
