Witness history as the 11th Parliament of Uganda convenes for a high-stakes plenary session to debate the Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026 that will make the beginning of the end of the 11th Ugandan August House

Despite a massive outcry from civil society, the medical fraternity, academia, and the diaspora, the combined parliamentary committees are set to table their report today, May 5, 2026. This live stream captures the unfolding tension both inside the chambers and on the streets of Kampala.

What’s Happening Now?
Parliament Under Siege: All roads leading to the August House—including Parliament Avenue and Nile Avenue—have been sealed off by heavy police and military deployment. Access is strictly restricted to MPs and essential staff.

The Legislative Standoff: Lawmakers are debating a bill that critics call "draconian." If passed, it would grant the government sweeping powers to regulate foreign funding, criminalize certain civic activities, and potentially impact remittances from Ugandans abroad.

Public Rejection: From the Uganda Medical Association to the Makerere University Academic Staff Association (MUASA), stakeholders have labeled this the "evil bill," arguing it duplicates existing laws and threatens fundamental constitutional rights.

Key Issues in the Bill:
Foreign Funding Caps: Proposals to limit external funds, requiring Ministerial approval for amounts exceeding specific thresholds.

Broad Definitions: Concerns over the vague definition of "agents of a foreigner" which could target journalists, NGOs, and researchers.

Economic Impact: The Central Bank and Bankers' Association have warned of a potential "chilling effect" on the investment climate and the balance of payments.

⚠️ Stay Informed:
We are bringing you real-time updates as the debate progresses. Will the House heed the call of the citizens to withdraw the bill, or will it move forward despite the widespread resistance?
