(e) any power of the President to grant any pardon or to remit or commute in whole or in part or to respite the execution of any sentence passed or to be passed; or (f) any of the written laws for the time being in force for the government of the armed forces of Uganda or any police force established in Uganda, except that if a person does an act which is punishable under this Code and is also punishable under another written law of any of the kinds mentioned in this section, he or she shall not be punished for that act both under that written law and also under this Code. CHAPTER II—TERRITORIAL APPLICATION OF THE CODE. 4. Extent of jurisdiction of courts. (1) The jurisdiction of the courts of Uganda for the purposes of this Code extends to every place within Uganda. (2) Notwithstanding subsection (1), the courts of Uganda shall have jurisdiction to try offences created under sections 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28 committed outside Uganda by a Uganda citizen or person ordinarily resident in Uganda. (3) For the avoidance of doubt, the offences referred to in subsection (2) committed outside Uganda by a Ugandan citizen or a person ordinarily resident in Uganda shall be dealt with as if they had been committed in Uganda. 5. Offences committed partly within and partly beyond the jurisdiction. When an act which, if wholly done within the jurisdiction of the court, would be an offence against this Code is done partly within and partly beyond the jurisdiction, every person who within the jurisdiction does or makes any part of such act may be tried and punished under this Code in the same manner as if such act had been done wholly within the jurisdiction.
