1 Mins read

President Museveni has revealed that he has been making a mistake by not signing death sentences for prisoners that have committed high level crimes.

While opening the annual judges’ conference at Speke Resort Munyonyo under the theme ; An Inclusive Judiciary for Sustainable Development, Museveni revealed that in our society, we believe in the Law of Moses; eye for an eye.

“I saw some NGOs agitating against the death sentence. In a pre-Industrial society like ours removing the death sentence is a recipe for chaos,” said the president before adding that;

“In our society, we believe in the Law of Moses; eye for an eye. I have been making the mistake of not sanctioning these death sentences, I am repenting.”

The president then thanked the Chief Justice Bart Katureebe for bringing in new innovations in the judicial system.

“I am happy with innovations of the Chief Justice, especially those to do with barazas (community engagements).

“The Chief Justice, who is a good Christian, must be picking a leaf from Jesus, who humbled himself and came down to earth for us sinners.”
