The Daily Monitor reports that Yonna Wanjala of the Civic Advisory Hub presented a joint paper with the Center for Constitutional Governance and FOWODE to the joint parliamentary committee, describing the Bill's definition of a foreigner as too broad and the Shs400m cap as a threat to civil society. On the same day, according to the paper, State Minister Gen David Muhoozi defended the Bill before the committee as a measure to protect Uganda's autonomy and strengthen accountability.
