"The ‘presumption of constitutionality’ [doctrine] . stands on very flimsy legs. Indeed, if one has regard to both the letter of the 1995 Constitution, as well as its history and context, one quickly realizes that the doctrine might have no legs at all." - @bkabumba.

Majority (if not all) applications for judicial recusal are declined in Uganda. Could the problem be with how the law is designed - that such an application must be made before the affected judge? What alternatives are there in other jurisdictions? Join us for this discussion.
