Uganda
Index
Portions of Uganda's 1967 constitution remained in
effect in
1990, especially those providing for a centralized
government
that vests strong executive powers in the office of the
president. The president retains responsibility for
maintaining
national sovereignty and territorial integrity and
overseeing
military affairs. Article 78 designates the president as
commander in chief of the armed forces and grants him the
power
to declare war in consultation with the legislature.
Article 21
empowers the president to declare a national state of
emergency
after consultation with his appointed ministers.
Data as of December 1990
