Court Rejects Kyagulanyi ‘s New Evidence
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

NUP lawyers before the Supreme court today were seeking permission to file additional evidence in an election petition challenging the election of YKM7.

Lead counsel Medard Lubega Ssegona told a panel of nine justices that even though the law envisages only 15 days within which a dissatisfied party can file an election petition , Kyagulanyi’s case is excusable because he was under house arrest for 10 days and only freed 5 days to the lapse of the mandatory time .

This meant that Kyagulanyi who was held in incommunicado would not meet his agents and lawyers to discuss hence filing the petition with missing pieces of evidence.

Ssegona added that unless court intervenes and permits them to table this fresh evidence, their petition may have less chances of success since this evidence is so fundamental and goes to the core of the petition.

Museveni’s lawyers led by Ebert Byenkya asked the court to dismiss Kyagulanyi’s application to amend the petition saying “the law governing presidential election petitions does not allow for such.”

He said the law only allows for the filing of the petition, serving the petition within two days, filing answers to the petition within three days, asking for particulars if any and final hearing.

Justices on the panel are; CJ Alfonse Owiny -Dollo, Stellah Arach , Esthet Kisaakye, Rubby Opio Aweri, Paul Mugamba , Mike chibita, Ezekiel Muhanguzi and Persy Tuhaise.

After unveiling rocket mouthed journalist Bbwaddene Basajjamivule, the ruling National Resistance Movement party could yet again add to the number of it’s ever growing recruits from the Kamwokya based National Unity Paltform (NUP) opposition party. Unconfirmed reports coming in reveal that President Museveni chief fisherman Balaam Barugahara could yet again be on the verge of landing a very big fish for his master in the name of none other than the popular NUP singer Hillary Kiyaga aka Hilderman. The Mazongoto singer was set to challenge Trade Minister Amelia Kyambadde for the Mawokota MP seat before he reportedly chickened out in favor of a mega deal dangled before him by the cunning Museveni fixer Balaam. Hill Water It has been reported that the powerful Minister had over the last few months courted the events promoter Balaam in a bid to convince him plead with Hilderman to drop his parliamentary bid in exchange for some juicy offer from the ruling side. After a long period of playing hard to get, we have established that Hilderman, one of the few musicians that have stayed by Bobi Wine’s side through thin and thick has finally succumbed to Balaam’s trickery, giving up on his strong ally in the process. It’s also reported that Mr Kiyaga was set to meet the President in the past couple of days but the busy political schedule with the CEC and this week’s NRM primaries have continuously led to the deferral of the program. We have since learnt that a meeting between Hilderman and the President is on schedule before a mega announcement that would most certainly leave the NUP boss – Bobi Wine nursing a broken spine.
