The Uganda Law Society has raised concern over the arrest of former deputy military chief and presidential adviser General Peter Elwelu, on allegations of plotting to destabilise parts of the country after the reported discovery of arms and other items. The arrest comes amid growing speculation about succession politics in Uganda, where President Yoweri Museveni has extended his decades-long rule and his son, military chief General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has already declared his intention to run for president in 2031. Lulu Gaboo spoke to the President of the Uganda Law Society, Isaac Ssemakadde
