Museveni said the Bill ought to be handled with extra care and discussed fully, before it is passed into law. He promised to convene an NRM Parliament caucus Today , Monday to examine some of the contentious clauses in the Bill.

“The Bill was there in the previous Parliament, but because we had not caucused on it, we postponed it. Now, it is being discussed in Parliament without a caucus scrutinising it first,” he said.
