The East African Law society has added its voice to calls for Uganda president Yoweri Museveni to step down at the end of his constitutionally stipulated two terms. Speaking at the launch of the inaugural East African Human Rights Report for 2003, the chief executive officer of the East African Law Society, Donald Deya, said debate on the constitutional reform to allow Museveni another term should not be allowed. "We urge the president of Uganda not to violate the constitution in any way to allow himself another term of presidency," he said.
