  • The Cabinet Handbook
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA THE CABINET HANDBOOK Cabinet Secretariat Office of the President www.cabinetsecretariat.go.ug December 2008 FOREWORD I am pleased to introduce the Cabinet Handbook which provides clear and comprehensive policy management guidelines for the Cabinet and other arms of Government involved in the policy management process. Cabinet is the highest policy making organ of government and is therefore responsible for policy development and its successful implementation. Cabinet collectively, and Ministers individually, have a primary duty to ensure that government policy best serves the public interest. This Cabinet Handbook outlines the principles by which Cabinet operates. It also sets out the procedures laid down to facilitate Cabinet’s realization of its central role of determining government policy and supporting ministers in meeting their individual and collective responsibilities, facilitating coordinated and strategic policy development. In the recent past, my government has made major contributions in the documentation and improvement of processes and procedures that support decision making at all levels of government. In conformity to our principle of transforming government processes and achieving greater transparency, and effectiveness in our management of policy; my government has focused its attention on introducing best practices in the processes and procedures that support decision making at all levels of Government. This Cabinet Handbook is primarily intended for Cabinet Ministers and Ministers of State. However, it must be read by all officers that are in various ways associated with the policy process, so that they are guided to make a better contribution to Cabinet's efficient functioning. The Secretary to Cabinet and the Cabinet Secretariat are available to offer advice and assistance.

Isanga, LL.B, LL.M, J.S.D.* Ave MariaSchool of Law Abstract: Achieving political stability in a transitional democracy is a fundamental goal, the resoluteness of which is in part maintained by courts of judicial review that are independent from political bias and devoid of deference to traditionally more powerful branches of government. The recent democratic transitions occurring in the African nations of South Africa and Uganda provide a unique, contemporary insight into the formation of a constitutional jurisprudence. This study is an examination of pivotal cases decided by the Constitutional Courts of South Africa and Uganda, the roles that these decisions play in political stability, and the potential for political bias in the interpretation of a newborn constitution.

  • Parliamentary Conference and Peers' Review Roundtable: Giving Full
    Parliamentary Conference and Peers’ Review Roundtable: Giving Full Effect to Principle of Complementarity Efforts in Uganda and the DR Congo Thursday 17 July 2014, Parliament of Uganda In the framework of its project “Promoting Effective Complementarity in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): Putting an End to Impunity and Preventing International Crimes within the Rome Statute (RS) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) System”, PGA convened a “Parliamentary Conference and Peers’ Review Roundtable: Giving Full Effect to Principle of Complementarity Efforts in Uganda and the DR Congo” hosted by the Parliament of Uganda on 17 July, on the occasion of the International Justice Day. This Seminar aimed to provide a platform for Members of Parliament (MPs) from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, at the presence of PGA’s Board member from the UK, to discuss how to best cooperate in fighting impunity for international crimes under the complementarity principle of the Rome Statute of the ICC. Complementarity regulates the relationship between the primary responsibility of States to put an end to impunity for international crimes and the complementary responsibility of the ICC. The discussions brought together around 100 participants, including over 40 parliamentarians from the Parliament of Uganda and the DRC and more than 50 representatives of the Government, international organisations, civil society, the media, the academia and other relevant stakeholders. In addition, the Conference benefited from the participation of a member of PGA Executive Committee, Mr. Mark Pritchard MP, Co-Convenor of PGA’s International Law and Human Rights Programme and Vice Chair of the UK All Party Parliamentary Uganda Group, to encourage an inter-exchange on the steps that need to be taken to give full effect to the principle of complementarity in Uganda and the DRC.

Background: 20 On the 15th December 2020 this matter came up for scheduling. The 2nd defendant informed court that it intends to make a it- • 5 preliminary point of law on the matter. The matter was adjourned to 11th January 2021 Counsel for the second defendant to raise the preliminary point of law. On that date Counsel for the Second defendant submitted that the said . ~. suit was prematurely instituted against the 2nd defendant on 10 the basis that though this court has an unlimited jurisdiction, it did not have original jurisdiction to hear tax disputes given that the dispute between the plaintiffs and 2nd defendant is a tax dispute in respect of assessment of UGX 1,469,083,334/ = which the 1st plaintiff objected to. 15 That being the case, counsel sought for and requested the court to have this suit dismissed as the point of law substantially disposes off the whole suit. While arguing the point of law, counsel relied on a number of provisions of the law citing Article 152(3) of the 1995 20 Constitution of the Republic of Uganda which provides for establishment of the tax tribunal for purpose of setting tax dispute.
