Uganda v Higenyi Muhammad (CRB No. 212 of 2023; Criminal Session No. 135 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 498 (10 July 2025)
The court found that while the prosecution proved the occurrence of sexual intercourse and lack of consent, it failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused was the perpetrator. The identification evidence was based solely on the complainant's testimony, which was not corroborated by any other witness or physical evidence such as the phone allegedly used for identification. The absence of further investigative steps, such as forensic analysis or corroborative testimony from the first person the complainant reported to, weakened the prosecution's case. The court also noted the exist…

Uganda v Otim Peter Alias Master (Criminal Session Case 127 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 526 (10 July 2025)
The court found that the prosecution failed to discharge its burden of proof beyond reasonable doubt on all essential ingredients of aggravated robbery. The evidence was primarily based on the sole testimony of PW1, which lacked corroboration and was undermined by the absence of physical exhibits (motorcycle, gun, cartridges), medical evidence, and testimony from key witnesses such as the Investigating Officer and Scene of Crime Officer. The conditions for identification were not sufficiently reliable, and the prosecution's omissions prejudiced the accused's right to a fair trial. The accused…

Dr. Amos Nzeyi v Uganda Revenue Authority (Tax Application 5 of 2024) [2025] UGTAT 11 (30 June 2025)
The Tribunal found that the Applicant held the land for nine years as a personal investment, with no evidence of repeated transactions, business use, or modifications to the asset indicative of trade. The Applicant's tax returns consistently declared only dividend and rental income, and there was no history of land trading. The Respondent's reliance on the Applicant's tax profile was insufficient to establish business activity, as registration codes do not constitute factual proof. The Tribunal concluded that the land was not a business asset within the meaning of the Income Tax Act, and the…

Uganda v Cherop Winnie Alais Chemutai (Criminal Session No. 472 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 458 (30 June 2025)
The court found that while the prosecution proved the death of Chemutai Ibrahim and that it was caused unlawfully and with malice aforethought, it failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt the participation of the accused, Cherop Winnie alias Chemutai, in the commission of the offence. The primary evidence against the accused was the unsworn testimony of a child witness (PW1), which was contradicted regarding prior knowledge of the accused and lacked credible corroboration. The corroborative evidence from PW2 was treated with skepticism due to evidence of longstanding animosity and possible ult…
