According to the Ministry of Internal affairs, the Human rights and Election monitoring NGOs did not file annual returns and audited books of accounts.

Human Rights lawyer, Nicholas Opiyo whose NGO, Chapter Four Uganda is among the suspended organizations confirmed receiving a notification from NGO Bereau noting that they (Chapter 4) will clarify on the matter.

“The National Bureau for NGOs has notified us of the indefinite suspension of the permit of Chapter Four for what they term failure to file returns and disclosing our sources of funding. We are working with the authorities to clarify what we believe is a misunderstanding”, Mr. Opiyo tweeted.

In February, President Museveni ordered for the suspension of operations of the Democratic Governance Facility (DGF) and frozen its bank accounts with 500b on allegations that the organization was funding activities of his rival political party, National Unit Platform (NUP) in the January elections.

This has since affected the operations of several non-governmental organisations (NGOs) across the country such as civil society organisation (CSOs) engaged in accountability, human rights and good governance, democracy, service delivery monitoring and capacity-building.

Many of which have halted their activities at the national, regional and grassroots levels.
