The National Resistance Movement Members of Parliament who are pushing for the removal of the presidential age limit have said they have finalised the plan to table the motion for a private member' Bill.
Addressing journalists on Tuesday, the MPs with state minister for investment, Evelyn Anite, said they will be presenting the Bill on Thursday.
Igara West MP, Raphael Magyezi, said after they have presented the Bill, they will reach out to their electorate for consultation.
He reiterated the argument that in expediting the Bill, they are complying with the Supreme Court ruling which directed the Government to enact constitutional and electoral reforms within two years.
Evelyn Anite said nothing would stop them because they have the necessary number of the legislators for the Bill to successfully sail through.
