  • Summarized Tribunal Report
    Summarized Tribunal Report On 15th May 2013, Hon. Frank Tumwebaze, the Minister of the Presidency, who is also the Minister in charge of Kampala Capital City, received a Petition from Seventeen (17) councilors of the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA). The Petition set out grounds upon which the Councillors sought the removal of Mr. Erias Lukwago from his position as Lord Mayor of Kampala Capital City. The allegations levelled against the Lord Mayor were; abuse of office, misconduct or misbehaviour and Incompetence. On receipt of the Petition, the Hon. Minister in consultation with the Chief Justice, constituted a Tribunal to investigate the allegations contained in the Petition. The Tribunal members were Honourable Lady Justice Catherine Bamugemereire, Mrs. Joska Ocaya-Lakidi and Mr. Alfred Okello Oryem. The Terms of Reference of the Tribunal, in addition to setting out a time-frame of two months for its operation, specified that a decision was to be reached as to whether the Petition’s assertions could support a prima facie case for the removal of the Lord Mayor. The Tribunal further noted that the Petition seeking the removal of Mr. Erias Lukwago from his elective position of Lord Mayor of Kampala Capital City, was a matter of great public interest which had created an atmosphere of collective euphoria within sections of the population of Kampala. The sheer gravity and the far reaching ramifications of this exercise compelled the Tribunal to subject the evidence adduced before to such rigour and care as akin to the standard ordinarily applied to election petitions. Indeed whilst the standard of proof applied by the Tribunal was not beyond reasonable doubt as required in criminal cases it was a lot higher than proof on a balance of probabilities which is the accepted standard of proof in cases of a civil nature such as this one.

  • Civil Judge in Uganda: Remuneration Systems and Promotion Possibilities
    Civil Judge in Uganda: Remuneration Systems and Promotion Possibilities. How to Reward Efficient and Independent Decisions Asiimwe Jackline-Bainipai* Abstract This piece of work is discusses the systems of remuneration of judges and promotion possi- bilities as well as rewarding efficient and independent decisions in Uganda. The research finds that whereas these three form part and parcel of the core of an independent judiciary, and whereas there are adequate legal provisions, the enforceability is lacking due to the fact that there are high levels of interference by the executive in the function of the judiciary. The remuneration, reward of an efficient judge are largely dependent on paying allegiance to the executive and deciding cases in appeasement of the executive. Yet, the remuneration, promotion and reward are supposed to be on merit. They should also be established by law and not subject to arbitrary interference from the executive. This study has revealed how the executive has substantial impact on remuneration, promotion and reward of efficient judges. Judges that decide cases according to the law irrespective of the interests of the exe- cutive are sidelined in the promotions, remunerations and reward. The study makes relevant conclusions and recommendations. “The remuneration of the judges is not sufficient to induce the ablest lawyers in the prime of life to accept judicial office. If that state of affairs is allowed to continue it must have serious effect upon the administration of the law. It will impair those intel- lectual standards which have made our English legal system a great legal system; it will tend to impair that law abiding instinct which is the condition precedent for the maintenance of a high standard of civilization, and it will weaken the chief remaining guarantee for the prosecution of the liberties of that subject.”1 With reflection on the above statement on remuneration, this piece of work discusses remu- neration systems and promotion possibilities and how to reward efficient and independent judges from the Ugandan perspective.

  • Rent-Seeking Practices, Local Resource Curse, and Social Conflict in Uganda’S Emerging Oil Economy
    land Article Rent-Seeking Practices, Local Resource Curse, and Social Conflict in Uganda’s Emerging Oil Economy Tom Ogwang * , Frank Vanclay and Arjan van den Assem Department of Cultural Geography, Faculty of Spatial Sciences, University of Groningen, 9712 CP Groningen, The Netherlands; [email protected] (F.V.); [email protected] (A.v.d.A.) * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 27 January 2019; Accepted: 25 March 2019; Published: 27 March 2019 Abstract: We consider the different types of rent-seeking practices in emerging oil economies, and discuss how they contribute to social conflict and a local resource curse in the Albertine Graben region of Uganda. The rent-seeking activities have contributed to speculative behavior, competition for limited social services, land grabbing, land scarcity, land fragmentation, food insecurity, corruption, and ethnic polarization. Local people have interpreted the experience of the consequent social impacts as a local resource curse. The impacts have led to social conflicts among the affected communities. Our research used a range of methods, including 40 in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, and document analysis. We argue there is an urgent need by all stakeholders—including local and central governments, oil companies, local communities, and civil society organizations—to address the challenges before the construction of oil infrastructure. Stakeholders must work hard to create the conditions that are needed to avoid the resource curse; otherwise, Uganda could end up suffering from the Dutch Disease and Nigerian Disease, as has befallen other African countries. Keywords: local resource curse; social conflicts; social impacts; presource curse; rent seeking 1.
