K-Solutions Limited v Attorney General (Civil Suit No. 122 of 2023) [2025] UGHCCD 60 (27 May 2025)
The court held that the plaintiff was required by law to exhaust the administrative remedies provided under the Public Procurement and Disposal of Public Assets Act before seeking recourse in the High Court.

The respondents' reliance on the pending appeal of the former office bearer and alleged lack of funds was not substantiated, as the recruitment process had proceeded after the dismissal and the position was not new, with salary already allocated. The refusal to appoint the applicant was therefore irrational and illegal. The court held that…
