Chief Justice summons justice Remmy Kasule and Stephen Kavuma over refusal to quit judges’ panel

 

Chief Justice Benjamin Odoki has summoned justice Remmy Kasule and Stephen Kavuma over their reported refusal to disqualify themselves from the panel hearing Edward Kiwanuka Sekandi election cases yet there is an allegation of personal bias.

Justice Odoki has summoned the two judges following a petition Jude Mbabali of the Democratic Party to the Chief Justice.

In a letter Mbabali’s lawyers of Lukwago and company advocates lodged at the Chief Justice’s office, the petitioners alleged that the Vice President Sekandi is a brother in law to Justice Remmy Kasule.

It was also further alleged that Justice Kavuma and Sekandi transact business together in a Limited Liability company based in Rubaga. The sources told us that the two judges in question will meet Odoki over this issue this week.
