Makerereans have been voted to lead the Uganda Law Society (ULS), a trend well maintained. What is most important about this election is the decision by lawyers to vote women into these key positions. I congratulate Pheona Nabaasa and Diana Angwech upon their election as President and Vice President of the ULS respectively.
