William Byaruhanga
Mr Byaruhanga is the Attorney General, also known as the head of the Bar. He joined the Justice ministry in 2016 and has served as such since then.
One of the high profile cases he handled was the famous age limit appeal before the Supreme Court about two years ago and the subsequent reference at the East African Court of Justice in Arusha, Tanzania.
Francis Atoke
Mr Atoke is the current Solicitor General at the Justice Ministry, a position he has held since 2012.
He joined the ministry in 1987 and has since risen through the ranks and worked as deputy Administrator General from 1997 to 2009.
This followed an application by Ssempiija complaining that the vote counting and tallying was marred by irregularities which denied him victory.
Katabaazi, pulled over 12,000 votes against Ssempijja’s 10,800, indicating a margin of 1,300 votes.
Former area MP Umar Lule Mawiya (Ind) came in third place with 6,400 votes followed by Didas Mugooma another independent candidate with 2,300 votes.
Court presided over by Masaka Chief Magistrate Charles Yeteise, has heard that the tallying exercise was full of gross irregularities and that Ssempijja’s polling agents were reportedly chased from some polling stations.
Ssempijja’s lawyers led by Geoffrey Kandebe told the court that similar incidents of chasing polling agents occurred in at least 25 polling stations which gave a chance to Katabaazi’s agents and Electoral Commission polling officials to reportedly tamper with the votes to the disadvantage of Ssempijja.
