National Information Technology Authority Uganda v Gulf Africa Limited (Civil Appeal 126 of 2024) [2025] UGHCCD 38 (26 February 2025)
The High Court found that the impugned procurement was governed by World Bank Standard Procurement Documents and the Procurement Management Manual, which provide a complaints management procedure distinct from that under the PPDA Act. The Manual, formed under the Financing Agreement with the International Development Association, constitutes an international obligation that prevails over the PPDA Act per Section 3(1). The Manual and bidding documents only permit complaints to be addressed to the Executive Director of the appellant, with review and clearance by the World Bank, and do not provi…

Ssempebwa v Kampala Capital City Authority (Miscellaneous Cause 146 of 2024) [2025] UGHCCD 43 (26 February 2025)
The court found that the application did not raise issues for constitutional interpretation, nor did it establish a violation of the applicant's human rights to dignity or freedom from cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment. The applicant's claims were based on subjective distress and historical grievances, without demonstrable harm or objective evidence of rights infringement. The court emphasized that enforcement of human rights requires more than personal sentiment; it must be substantiated by facts meeting an objective threshold. While acknowledging the applicant's grievance regarding col…

The application was found…

Mpungu v Uhuru & 3 Others (Civil Suit 12 of 2024) [2025] UGHCCD 45 (26 February 2025)
The court found that the 1st respondent's decision to remove the applicant from the position of Deputy Mayor was tainted by improper motives, personal animosity, and was not supported by lawful authority or due process. The decision was rescinded prior to the filing of the judicial review application, and the applicant remained in office with full rights. The constitution of the tribunal to investigate the applicant was found to be infected with improper motives and not based on sufficient legal grounds, as the allegations against the applicant were vague and unsupported by conviction. The co…

The court found that these health issues constitute an exceptional circumstance that cannot be adequately managed in prison. Allegations of interference wi…
