29
councilors voted in favour of impeachment while three voted against. The
meeting was chaired by Kampala Minister Frank Tumwebaze.
Earlier
on Monday morning, the High Court issued an interim order stopping Frank
Tumwebaze from implementing the vote of no confidence against Lukwago.
The
High Court registrar Fred Waninde had by 8:45am granted an interim injunction
barring the KCCA from debating the report of the tribunal set up by Kampala
Minister Frank Tumwebaze to investigate the Lord Mayor.
Immediately
after the court injunction, Lukwago’s lawyer Samuel Muyizi Mulindwa rushed to
KCCA offices to serve them the documents. Muyizi says he went to KCCA Executive
Director Jeniffer Musisi’s offices and gave the documents to her secretary,
whose names he did not mention. The secretary reportedly walked out and did not
come back. The lawyer was shortly reportedly after told to walk out of the KCCA
premises for security reasons.
However,
Tumwebaze reportedly refused to receive the Court order and went ahead with the
process.
Lukwago’s
lawyers, Alaka and Company Advocates, petitioned court seeking its orders to
block KCCA from impeaching the Lord Mayor.
The
proceedings in the High Court will also continue with judicial review today in
which Lukwago challenges the process within which the tribunal led by Justice
Catherine Bamugemereire arrived at their decision.
Lukwago
is currently at Mukwaya General Clinic where he was admitted on Saturday.
Meanwhile
there was drama as MP’s including Ken Lukyamuzi were forcefully pushed
out of City Hall, one of Lukwago’s lawyers was beaten up by police and
arrested.
