Right.
So, it is 2021 and about a week since the last Ordinary East African Community’s Heads of States Summit. The meeting was held as a video conference with attendees calling in from their respective offices. I approve of this heartily, physical meetings of heads of state are a pain in the traffic jam for hosting cities and you can’t tell me otherwise.
In the 21st century, the pomp and circumstance of official visits has completely lost its sheen. Familiarity has bred contempt. Many of us don’t even like our presidents outside of the obligatory observance of some form of respect for leadership. I approve of this heartily.
.We act for and on behalf of His Excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the President of Uganda read the letter in part. It has come to our client’s knowledge that a presidential election petition has been filed with our client as a named respondent. This is to confirm that we have instructions to receive service of process in the said petition.”
The letter concludes: “We request you to inform counsel for the petitioner accordingly.
But Wameli said he had not been given a copy of the instructions and that they wanted to be courteous and be served them through their addresses.
