CONSTITUTIONALISM IN TIMES OF NATIONAL CRISIS: Gov’t of Uganda has done well in fighting Covid-19 but there’s still room to do so more constitutionally Constitutional Lawyer and Makerere Law don, Dr. Busingye Kabumba argues that although thus far the Ugandan Government has been more rational and effective in dealing with the Covid-19 challenges, some of the actions are not grounded on a firm constitutional footing. He argues that given the many restrictions the state has had to make for the good of the country, declaring a state of emergency within the confines of the 1995 would have been the best constitutional direction.
