KAMPALA UGANDA| Following the Summons by supreme court on June 8, 2023 for Pre-hearing of the application for judgement on admission of illegalities not substantially addressed by court of appeal where unfortunately outside normal court procedure, Hon. Justice Elizabeth Musoke shocked court by saying the Chief Justice instructed her not to entertain the application but rather inform the applicants that delivery of judgement in the main appeal is on June 13, 2023 which is contrary to article 28 of the constitution which provides for the right to a fair, speedy and public hearing to all Ugandans by an independent and impartial court or tribunal established by law and equally contrary to article 44(c) of the constitution provides that Notwithstanding anything in the Constitution, there shall be no derogation from enjoyment of the right to fair hearing. So every Ugandan has the right to be heard.
