Lukwago ( Lord Mayor KCCA) Vs Attorney General & Anor [2014] UGSC 405 (21 August 2014)

Court
Supreme Court of Uganda

The Supreme Court held that it lacked jurisdiction to entertain an application for stay of execution arising from a decision of a single Justice of the Court of Appeal. The right of appeal to the Supreme Court is strictly statutory and only arises where the Court of Appeal, sitting as a properly constituted bench, confirms, varies, or reverses a High Court decision.

High Court Civil Suit No.93 of 2002

The court found that the District Service Commission acted unlawfully by retiring the plaintiff in the public interest after she had been exonerated by the Tribunal.

The Commission's decision was made without affording the plaintiff a hearing and was based on allegations already dismissed by the Tribunal, violating the rules of natural justice and constitutional protections for public officers. The court held that the appropriate action a…

Case number
Misc Appl No 02-CV-MA-0058-2004

The court found that both the respondent's council and the District Service Commission failed to comply with the statutory procedures for removal and interdiction of the applicant as Chief Administrative Officer. The council passed a resolution in the applicant's absence, denying him the right to be heard and violating the principle of natural justice (audi alterem partem). The resolution was not supported by the required two-thirds majority, and no proper notice was submitted to the Speaker as mandated by law. The District Service Commission acted beyond its powers by interdicting the applic…
