In the petition, Bwowe had contended that Nakawa West is a non-existent constituency and asked the court to cancel the nominations of Ssenyonyi, Happy Nasasira, Herbert Anderson Burora, Ephraim Okuye, Vincent Norbert Okumu, Wilberforce Kyambadde and Rwamiti Apuuli, and declare him the only validly nominated candidate to be elected unopposed.
The Court also held that Mufumbiro and his legal team did not adduce sufficient evidence to prove that the alleged irregularities, if any, affected the final result in a substantial manner as required by the Parliamentary Elections Act.
“We witnessed the selective eviction of victims during the eviction of people in Lubigi Swamp. Some houses were being destroyed while the police were protecting others. This makes the organ lose trust and credibility from the public.”
NEMA only demolished the properties of the poor citizens at the expense of those that belonged to the rich Ugandans, including some factories and petrol stations that remained untouched.
The issues of evictions don’t discriminate against political affiliations, and the issues of violating the rights of Ugandans don’t bother about political parties because when such a day comes, all face the wrath.
