A lawyer in Mbarara, James Owebeyi has petitioned the Mbarara High Court demanding a judicial review against the extension of the term of office for the village chairpersons.
The Minister of Local Government, Hon. Raphael Magyezi recently extended the term of office for LCI and LCII chairpersons for another six months over suspected budgetary challenges.
Mr. James Owebeyi, citing several articles of the constitution, asserted that the extension was illegal and unjustifiable under the law; praying that court declares that the minister’s action was unlawful. END
