Uganda: High Court nullifies Lukwago censure


High Court nullifies Lukwago censure

The High Court in Kampala has ordered the Minister for Kampala, Mr. Frank Tumwebaze to halt any proceedings following the tribunal report that led to the censure of the Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago.

Justice Yasin Nyanzi on Thursday ruled that any implementations being carried out should be stopped until an application by Lukwago challenging the tribunal findings by Justice Catherine Bamugemereire are heard.

Justice Nyanzi earlier on Monday ruled that the interim order issued by the acting registrar Fred Waninda to stop a vote by Kampala Capital City Authority councilors, was to be in force until Thursday at 11am when he will give his substantive verdict.

Police was heavily deployed at the High Court and limited entry to the premises but that did not stop Lukwago's supporters from celebrating throughout the City as they cheered the ruling of the court.
