Is this Court in Europe? Faruk Kirunda Reprimands Francis Zaake as opposition legislator celebrates after winning Legal dispute

The Deputy Presidential Press Secretary, Mr. Faruk Kirunda has wondered whether the court that has delivered justice to Mityana Municipality legislator Francis Zaake is outside Uganda since for long, the lawmaker has been claiming that there’s no justice in the country.

“Following Hon. Francis Zaake’s victory in the Constitutional Court, I wish to ask; is this Court in Europe, Ghana, India, or Uganda? How come the ruling went in his favour yet he is in Opposition and always claims there is no justice in Uganda?” he inquired.

Mr. Kirunda’s query follows the Constitutional Court’s ruling where it quashed Speaker Anita Among’s decision to remove Mr. Zaake as a Commissioner of Parliament.

“It has been cleared today that the legislature as an arm of government that makes the law does not respect the laws it makes. Madam Anita Among is not supposed to be called Right Honorable because she doesn’t follow the law based on the outcome of this case. She has ashamed the Parliament of Uganda. She behaves like a dictator. She thought she was untouchable but today she has been touched. As a leader of Parliament, she’s supposed to obey and follow the law. According to the ruling in this case, I’m still a commissioner,” the legislator told journalists shortly after the ruling today.

Last year, Zaake lost his Parliamentary Commission seat following a vote on a motion moved to have him out on grounds of misconduct.

The vote followed a debate on the report of the Committee of Rules, Discipline, and Privileges that found Zaake in breach of public trust and confidence. Zaake was probed for statements he made on social disparaging Rt. Hon. Among.
