Alaka & Co Advocates are the Defence Lawyers for Embattled Jinja RDC Eric Sakwa, As He Arrogantly Spits Fire; Only President Museveni Can Remove Me From Office.

Jinja District RDC Eric Sakwa.

Embattled Jinja Resident District Commissioner (RDC) Eric Sakwa is challenging the move by the Office of the President to interdict him.

This past week, Haji Yunus Kakande, a secretary at the Office of the President, informed Sakwa that a decision had been made to remove him from office during the time he’ll be battling in court.

Sakwa, who stands accused of manslaughter and robbery, was arrested on April 24 and released on bail on April 29.

The decision to interdict him was made on May 4.

Now, to challenge the interdiction, MS Nyote & Co. Advocates and Alaka & Co. Advocates have filed an application on behalf of Sakwa in the High Court in Jinja.

The respondents in the matter are the attorney general of Uganda and Kakande, the aformentioned secretary.

According to the filing, Sakwa was not given any hearing before receiving the interdiction letter.

“All rules of natural justice were flouted,” reads the application.

Sakwa argues that his conditions to serve are not predetermined by having a criminal case in court.

He also says the letter does not indicate that his interdiction was directed by the appointing authority, in this case, president Yoweri Museveni.

“… the second respondent [Yunus Kakande] did not follow the procedure to interdict me since it was not on the direction of the president,” the filing says.

The RDC says he’s being threatened by Kakande and agents of the attorney general.

For that reason, Sakwa wants the interdiction “quashed” and the respondents prohibited from ejecting him from office until protocol is observed.

Eric Sakwa was appointed RDC of Jinja district on Oct. 22, 2018.

According to the appointment letter, he’s entitled to a consolidated salary of Shs27,518,400 per annum, or about Shs2.2 million per month.

He is also entitled to an allowance of Shs165000 per night and Shs13000 per day.

Sakwa is also entitled to annual gratuity calculated at the rate of 40% of his basic salary.

He can also take leave at a rate of 3 days per month or 36 days per annum.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda. I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know. It got me totally messed up. This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood. He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations. His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion. So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe? Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
