Social Media Regulation
As digital platforms continue to shape public discourse and economic activity in Uganda, the government is revisiting social media regulation with fresh proposals aimed at addressing online misinformation, data privacy, and digital accountability.

Uganda Proposes Law
The Ugandan government is pushing forward with a controversial proposal to introduce a new law that would allow civilians to be tried in military courts under “exceptional circumstances.” This comes in stark contrast to a 2022 Supreme Court ruling that barred such trials, citing violations of constitutional rights. Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister Nobert Mao confirmed the draft legislation is ready and awaiting cabinet approval. He emphasized that the bill would define the conditions under which civilians could be subjected to military justice, but critics argue the law could open doors for political abuse. “We intend to clearly outline the […]Read more...
