This judgment depicts the lukewarm attitude of @JudiciaryUG in combating corruption.

No explanation why Kiryabwire JA, a former commercial judge, didn't comment on constitutionality of the deal between HB bankers and BoU.

Order 7 kiwani.

@UgandanLawyer @KahimaSilas @SNamahe
No explanation why Musoke JA, having implicated HB bankers @TropicalBankLtd @OrientBankUG @ubabank & @bankofbaroda in an unconstitutional loan deal, she failed to reverse the deal, demand a refund of taxpayers' money, and impose sanctions against the banks.

The finding that HB & Co were "compensated" by GoU is not only profoundly disappointing but also sadly predictable.

The crooks tried & failed to get even a penny from the Consolidated Fund. @mofpedU busted them!

Then they recruited 4 delinquent bankers to join the conspiracy.
So much is wrong with all of this that it is hard to know where to start:

1. GoU never approved any compensation to HB & Co.

2. It's 4 delinquent bankers who applied for & received public funds from BoU for losses they incurred on private loans with HB & Co

Let that sink in!
Who will bell the cat?

The referral of this hot potato to a single judge of the High Court to remedy an "unconstitutional" compensation scheme doesn't just embarrass Uganda, it impedes it.

So 1 small rat will do a job five big rats couldn't do in 8 years?

What a joke!
This is merely a declaratory slap on the wrist of the corrupt.

The judges merely looked away from an odius debt.

The Constitutional Court has failed the first test case for asset recovery in the public interest.

They have dealt with this case as if it were business as usual.
The hottest part of hell awaits the three justices G Kiryabwire, C Barishaki & S Musota whose judgments do not reflect whether they even looked at the so-called letters of comfort through which taxpayers' money was doled out to 4 foreign, delinquent bankers.

To wrap up, 5 judges "hear" a case.

Facts: A man of straw, 5 briefcase co's & 4 foreign banks looted the national treasury of BILLIONS, while guardians looked away.

Verdict: After 8 years, by a majority of 4:1, the judges see no evil done by the 4 foreign banks!
