A group of concerned citizens has asked High Court in Kampala to order Deputy Chief Justice Richard Buteera to immediately vacate his office, arguing that the process of his appointment was tainted with irregularities, hence unconstitutional.
The petitioners contend that President Museveni usurped the powers of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and appointed Justice Buteera as Deputy Chief Justice and yet there was no such a vacancy at the time.
Justice Buteera’s appointment is being challenged by a group of four concerned citizens and a human rights watchdog, Citizen Alert Foundation.
