Western Youth MP Gerald Karuhanga and a city lawyer got stranded at the Constitutional Court this morning when nobody in the registrar's office could receive their petition seeking to block the approval of the new Deputy Chief Justice Steven Kavuma.
Justice Kavuma was due for vetting in parliament this morning alongside new cabinet ministers. The petitioners who include lawyers, MPs and civil society members claim Mr Kavuma's appointment is unconstitutional.
President Museveni confirmed Mr Kavuma as Deputy Chief Justice two weeks ago after he had served in acting capacity since March 2013 following the death of his predecessor Justice Constance Byamugisha.
This morning, Western Youth MP Gerald Karuhanga and city lawyer Aron Kiiza went to the Constitutional Court to file their petition challenging Mr Kavuma's scheduled vetting in parliament. However, none of the officials in the registrar's office was willing to attend to them.
Ms Mary Khainza, the court deputy registrar had on Tuesday asked the petitioners, Mr Karuhanga and Mr Kiiza, to file their petition today, saying she could not attend to them because it was late.
However when they turned up at court this morning to file their petition, Mr Khainza told them she could not attend to them because she was sick and going to see a doctor. No other court official in the registrar's office was ready to receive the petition and they all sneaked out of the court premises, leaving the petitioners stranded.
In their suit, the petitioners claim President Museveni disregarded the mandatory advice of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) in regard to the appointment of the Deputy Chief Justice which is in breach of Article 147(1a) of the Constitution.

Is Kavuma not the chief manipulator of justice and the justice system in Uganda in protection of his cronies and henchmen? He is so full of clumsy trickery and I think calling him a Trickster Deputy Thief Justice is not an understatement - if those who snatch justice from others could be called so!

Obviously the Ugandan courts are not independent. Cheap indeed, no wonder we had one man acting in two top of the law/judiciary food chain positions for years.
