Human rights defenders and advocates have already started training for the assignment and have held a meeting at Africana Hotel in Kampala preparing lawyers to handle cases of violence against citizens as they arise.
During the counting of the votes, Bireije's side which was still in the lead developed cold feet when Achaye's side took the lead, ending up causing chaos.
The commitment was made at the end of a three-day retreat on "Enhancing the voice and action on integrity and ethical conduct for religious leaders in Uganda."
