Lawmaker says soldiers in Uganda parliament, debate on presidency halted

[ahlam1399]

KAMPALA: Uganda?s parliament abruptly adjourned a debate over the extension of presidential rule on Tuesday after a lawmaker said soldiers had entered the building. ?There were so many, I saw them. They were in the chaplaincy,? one legislator, Gaffa Mbwatekamwa, told a local television station. The station showed chaotic images of lawmakers and police both trying to address the cameras. The army did not immediately reply to a request for comment. Lawmakers were debating a draft bill that would remove a constitutional age cap that bars long-serving President Yoweri Museveni from standing again.
