He wants term limits for all elective offices lifted from five years to seven years including that of the president.

“We have talked about it and I see it is good. We don’t want to go back and ask for votes,” the legislator said on Tuesday evening.

He said the term of seven years is okay and he supports it seriously.

“We are starting the third year in Parliament and we have done nothing for the people.”

In 2005, MPs were bribed with Shs5m to lift term limits for the president giving Museveni a shot at life presidency.

Arua Municipality MP has been at the helm of those championing the age limit bill that will make Museveni’s life presidency dream come true.

The same MP has now revealed a plan to lift the term limit of all elective offices from five to seven years arguing that five years in office is too short a period for an elected leader to offer adequate service to the electorates.
