Abstract
The November 8, 2022, Parliament sitting opened aimd intense debate over the Nyege Festival, which the Legislature sought to block on the grounds that it contravened Uganda's moral values. For much of the session, Parliament appeared to assume a policing role, as the presiding officer suspended matters of national importance to focus on legislation curbing online freedoms through the Computer Misuse (Amendment) Bill, 2022, a law that human rights activists later argued would curtail fundamental rights of expression and public criticism.
