In a significant development marking the commencement of his seventh constitutional term in office, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has officially signed the Protection of Sovereignty Act, 2026 into law. This legislative milestone represents the very first piece of legislation to receive the presidential assent since the beginning of his current tenure. The formal signing of this critical legal instrument took place exactly five days following the President’s grand inauguration ceremony, which was held on May 12 at the Kololo Ceremonial Grounds. This swift action by the head of state underscores the administration’s immediate focus on legislative priorities as the new term of governance officially gets underway.
