Museveni Summons Special NRM CEC Meeting Bail Reforms

President Museveni has summoned a special NRM Central Executive Committee(CEC) meeting. This meeting will start at exactly 2pm at Entebbe and is centred mainly around issues involving bail.

“Notice is hereby given that the seventh meeting of the fourth Central Executive Committee(CEC) of the National Resistance Movement(NRM) Organisation will be held on Friday, November 5, 2021, at Entebbe, starting at 2pm,” president Museveni said in a notice issued on Tuesday.

The agenda of this meeting is still unclear but sources say the bail bill may be topping the chart. The President has insisted on this and has talked about it in each and every speech of his.

Recently, he asked if bail is the right of the accused, then how about the victim.

“The remaining problem is some of the judicial officers and police. Some judicial officers do things that have no connection with reality. In the case of Masaka, so many people have died and suspects are given bail. And we are told bail is a right. Bail of criminals is a right. How about right of the victims? They have no right,” Museveni said recently.

The President said it’s as though is used as a cover for some criminals and yet as National Resistance Movement they believe in accountability.

“NRM insists on fully accountability and full responsibility. We are discussing with stakeholders about all these issues. Bail should not be used as a cover to protect criminals.”

There is probably more that is t be discussed but because this issue has been on his lips every now and then, it must be the main topic of discussion.
