When the Supreme Court reconvened on Thursday morning for a pre-trial session of a petition in which former presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, is challenging President Museveni’s recent electoral victory, Mr Kyagulanyi’s lawyers had a quick, honest confession: They weren’t ready.
“Some of our witnesses who would have sworn in affidavits have been arrested,” Mr Medard Lubega Sseggona, Mr Kyagulanyi’s lead lawyer of the day, explained to the penal of nine Justices led by Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo.
Mr Kyagulanyi’s legal team is seen as generally lightweight, the petitioner appears short on resources and the effort to assemble a formidable petition seems to have been significantly hampered.

Regarding transparency in the election, I believe the problem or doubts in Uganda has often been related to the tallying process.
This is because the procedure for handling poll results from polling centres across the country to the national tally centre is not transparent enough to rule out doubting Thomases.
I think this is one of the reasons that compelled Mr Yoweri Museveni to go to the bush in the early 1980s, and one of the major reasons why Opposition leader Kizza Besigye opted out of this election this year.
Candidates are elected at polling centres. Therefore, priority should be make public a schedule of all polling centres with each one allocated identification number such as 0001, 0002, etc. This is necessary to avoid creation of ghost centres and inflating voting numbers. At polling centres, voters and agents are often very vigilant and the process is often transparent.
