KAARO KARUNGI | KAMPALA – Lawyer Male Mabirizi has ran to court to challenge President Museveni’s swearing in for a sixth elective term as the president of Uganda.
In his case filed in the East African Court of Justice, Mabirizi says it was wrong for Museveni to be sworn in before the Supreme Court gave a valid ruling in a case he filed seeking for recusal of Alfonse Owiny Dollo from an election petition filed by Robert Kyagulanyi also known as Bobi Wine.
He says the swearing in ceremony was therefore null and void.
“The actions, processes and decisions undertaken by The President of Uganda, The Chief Justice of Uganda and Uganda People’s Defence Forces in election of Jacob Oulanyah as Speaker of 11th Parliament and Anita Among as Deputy Speaker were illegal,” the lawyer says.
