The East African Court of justice has written a tough letter to President Museveni, parliament of Uganda and to the secretary general of the East African community warning them not to send names of Uganda’s representatives to the East African Legislative Assembly until Uganda parliament makes laws that will allow all political parties with representation to parliament to send representatives.

The letter indicates that the Speaker of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) is not expecting any names of elected officials from Uganda until the parliament of Uganda makes rules complying with Article 50 of the East African Treaty.

The court’s letter to Uganda follows a petition which DP and its senior legal advisor, Mukasa Fred Mbidde filed in the same court, challenging the selective sending of Uganda’s representatives to EALA.

Mbidde successfully argued the case and the court ruled that each political party in Uganda with representation in parliament must send a representative to EALA.
