The Court of Appeal, presided over by Deputy Chief Justice Buteera Richard, Lady Justice Irene Mulyagonja, and Justice Geoffrey Kiryabwire has stopped the auction of Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) property. This decision comes just before the scheduled auction set for December 21, 2023.
The Court’s ruling highlighted irregularities in the attachment of UMSC’s properties, citing malpractice and a lack of due diligence by Justus Kyabahwa’s legal representatives. UMSC’s legal team, led by Counsel Musa Kabega and Counsel Dr. Adam Kibwanga Makmot, along with other counsels, presented their case. Notably, Justus Kyabahwa’s representatives were absent during the proceedings.
Among the attendees were Hon. Counsel Haj Muhammad Ali Aluma, Deputy Secretary-General for Finance and Administration, and Counsel Bunyasin Ibrahim, the UMSC legal officer.
