    ELECTORAL REFORM IN UGANDA: EMERGING JURISPRUDENCE ON STRUCTURAL INTERDICTS AND CONTEMPT OF COURT The 2019 Supreme Court Decision of Prof. Frederick E. Ssempebwa & Ors v. Attorney General Contributors Benson Tusasirwe Robert Kirunda ELECTORAL REFORM IN UGANDA: EMERGING JURISPRUDENCE ON STRUCTURAL INTERDICTS AND CONTEMPT OF COURT Foreword Since 1996 Uganda has held six presidential elections after every five years. With the exception of 1996, each presidential election results have been challenged in the Supreme Court and the judges, though upholding the election results, have made several key recommendations for electoral reform in a bid to ensure free and fair elections. Election petition No. 1 of 2016 brought by Amama Mbabazi went a step ahead and consolidated previous recommendations for electoral reform and the Supreme Court stipulated a two- year within which the Attorney General was to report back to the court, measures taken to implement the said recommendations. However, the period lapsed before the Attorney General reported back to court and without any electoral reforms being tabled before Parliament. To this end, Kituo Cha Katiba (KcK) together with two prominent law professors filed a public interest case before the Supreme Court of Uganda in 2019 to hold the Attorney General of Uganda in contempt of the court orders that centred on the electoral reforms in the 2016 Amama Mbabazi case. The public interest case of Prof. Frederick. E. Ssempebwa, Prof. Frederick W. Jjuuko and Kituo Cha Katiba v. Attorney General, the subject of this publication, is an initiative that falls within Kituo cha Katiba’s strategic objective of “supporting the culture of promoting, respecting and defending democratic constitutional standards and practices in the Eastern African region” and sought to achieve the broader goal of promoting electoral reform and justice in Uganda.

  • Kampala - Uganda)
    THE EAST AFRICA LAW SOCIETY REGIONAL PRACTICE SERIES (KAMPALA - UGANDA) Date: 17th and 18th October 2019 Venue: The Imperial Royale Hotel, Kampala. ABOUT THE TRAINING The East Africa Law Society and EALS Institute in partnership with the Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, the East African Court of Justice and the Uganda Law Society will be hosting a highly specialized two-day training on practice before Regional Courts and Tribunals for East African lawyers with a focus on the Ugandan cohort. The training comes at a time when there’s increasing demand for cross-border legal services and legal expertise in this area with numerous clients seeking these services elsewhere. This disadvantages talented local lawyers who would otherwise have offered similar or even better services. It also seeks to bridge an expertise gap identified by a recent study conducted by the East Africa Law Society on the status of implementation of decisions of the East African Court of Justice which among others raised a red flag over the nature of pleadings filed and prayers sought by legal professionals appearing before the Court that made it difficult to implement some of its decisions. in This course thus provides the perfect opportunity for legal professionals in the region to bridge this skill gap. The course will focus on practice before partnership two major Courts; the East African Court of Justice (EACJ) at the regional with level the African Court on Human and People’s Rights (AfCHPR) at the continental level. Delegates will be taken through the mandates of the two Courts including the arbitration mandate where possible and they will be taught the various rules of procedure applicable in the Courts.
