Debate on the Constitutional Amendment Bill No 1, 2019, faced another setback yesterday after MPs failed to proceed without functioning iPads.
The Bill, which seeks to amend about 30 Articles of the 1995 Constitution, was moved in December 2019 by Ndorwa East MP Wilfred Niwagaba, who is also the Shadow Attorney General.
The debate did not ensue after Speaker Rebecca Kadaga promised to give guidance on how to proceed during the plenary session.
