KCU Law Society Visits The Parliament

KCU Law Students

On April 13th, 2023, 45 students studying Law at King Ceasor University visited the Uganda Parliament, The Ugandan Parliament is the legislative body of the Republic of Uganda, located in the capital city Kampala. The Chamber of the Ugandan Parliament is the main meeting place where Members of Parliament (MPs) convene to debate, pass laws, and conduct other parliamentary business.

This excursion was organized through the collaboration of the King Ceasor University LAW Society,( an association that brings together all KCU students in the School of Law ) and the King Ceasor University Administration, Dean School of Law. The experience was very transformative, offering invaluable opportunities for the students to enhance their legal knowledge and practical experiences.

During the visit, the students were able to interact with the parliamentary setting and composition, gaining insight into the history of parliament, its former leaders, symbolic tools, and parliamentary rules and procedures. The students had the privilege of meeting and interacting with the Honorable Deputy Speaker of Parliament and chair board of trustees Thomas Tayebwa, as well as other ministers and Members of Parliament.

As the parliamentarians discussed national matters, the students sited in the parliamentary gallery were able to witness firsthand the execution of the different roles and responsibilities of the honorable members, thus gaining a deeper appreciation for the order and structure of parliament.

The experience proved to be both inspiring and motivating for the law students, rekindling their hope and instilling in them a renewed sense of purpose. The knowledge gained, such as the significance of the Mess as the symbol of power of the Speaker, the role and ranking of the clerk, and the Sergeant in Arms was worth their time.

Overall, the visit was a remarkable experience that exceeded academic expectations. One student even expressed admiration for the parliamentarians’ elegance and vowed to practice walking in a similar manner. The students express their heartfelt appreciation to the Dean of School of Law, the Guild Representatives Councils, and the entire Law Society for making this invaluable opportunity possible.
