Uganda Wildlife Authority sued over unlawful termination of Executive Director

The former Executive director of the Uganda Wildlife Authority Michael Kamanzi has gone to court seeking orders to lift his suspension.

Kamanzi has filed a lawful suit against the Uganda Wildlife Authority, the Attorney General and the new acting executive director of the Uganda world life Authority Dr. Andrew Seguya before the high court to quash the purported appointment of Seguya as the Acting executive director and allow him back in office to resume his work.

Kamanzi claims Seguya is unlawfully occupying offices because he was appointed by the outgoing tourism trade and Industry minister Maj. Gen. Kahinda Otafire and not the board of directors as the law requires.

Kamanzi says in December 2010 was forced to have a leave by the minister to pave way for investigation over his insubordination.

Trouble stemmed from the refusal of Minister Otafire to appoint him as the substantive executive director and instead preferred advertising for the post.

Kamanzi contends that the minister appointed Seguya for indefinite period of time without the recommendation of the board of trusties and yet it’s a requirement.
