This week on Upfront,our discussion focused on your understanding of the 'constitution'-- as a document that contains the rules and principles that define the nature and extent of government. Many agree that an effective constitution is supposed to regulate the relationship between institutions of a government i.e executive, legislature and the judiciary. Most importantly it sets limits on those in power. It is in essence an auxiliary precaution on the dangers of human excess that power bestows upon the few political leaders. So on the show we wanted to find out how much do people really know about their constitutions? One of the analysts i had on the show is Mugisha Muntu an opposition leader from Uganda. He said that few people in his country know what is written in the constitution. That is mainly because it is written in English--a language spoken by the educated class. For more on our conversation with him and many others,listen to the show.
