In the appeal, Mabirizi is challenging part of the judgment of the First Instance Division of the regional court against his 2018 lifting of the presidential age limit case.
In a pre-hearing conference presided over by five justices led by Justice Nestor Kayobera, Geoffrey Kiryabwire, Sauda Njasiri, Kathurima M’noti and Justice Anita Mugeni, both parties have agreed on four issues.
The issues to rely on include; whether or not the Court committed irregularities in hearing and determining his case, whether the court erred in law in determining that the processes leading to the enactment of the Constitutional Amendment Act Age Limit 2018, proceedings and decisions of his 2017 Constitutional petition against the government of Uganda through the Attorney General were time-barred.

Karua, through her Linda Katiba lobby group, believes that most assemblies did not conduct adequate public participation and MCAs were only impressed by the car grant to approve the Bill.
