By KGR Reporter,
Lawyers representing Ugandan political activist, Dr. Kizza Besigye and his colleague Hajji Obeid Lutale met with the Chief Justice’s Private Secretary, Thadeus Tumwebaze today.
The lawyers, Erias Lukwago and Martha Karua, sought to express their concerns about the delay in the judgment of a case; Attorney General vs Michael Kabaziguruka.
This case is an appeal against a 2021 Constitutional Court decision that nullified the trial of civilians in military courts but the General Military Court continues to register new cases, including those involving Dr. Besigye and Hajji Obeid Lutale.
They also seek clarification on the status of the appeal, which has been pending for three years.
Regarding Martha Karua’s special practicing certificate, the lawyers are working with the Law Council to obtain it. END
