WHEN LAW MEETS POLITICS - UGANDA MINISTERS' SCANDAL AND RIGHT TO BAIL
Listen to this Insight
You may have heard or watched the news from Uganda on the most recent scandal where Ministers shared government aid that was meant for relief for one of the remotest places in Uganda - the Karamoja region. For clarity, this is the area with the highest rates of illiteracy, and economic development and with a semi-arid climate that has hampered their agricultural space and has always influenced their life as nomadic pastoralists. During the affirmative action discussions, the legislators saw it fit to create a Cabinet Ministerial position for Karamoja Affairs. Recently the Minister sought a supplementary budget to purchase iron sheets for the region in form of aid. The money was allegedly shared amongst some legislators and ministers through corridors of power. This led to the arrest of some of the Ministers during the last 2 weeks. It should be noted that these Ministers and legislators belong to the ruling party - the National Resistance Movement. Earlier, the ruling party had sought to abolish the constitutional right to bail for certain political wrongs inclusive of corruption. This move was a political strategy engineered to ensure the opposition politicians under certain charges do not get access to the right to bail and as such stay in the cells for as long as the political power structures agree otherwise. The irony is that now the same ministers face the same stand off with many of them have failed to meet the bail requirement. Well, that is what has been in Uganda. Share any similar scandal from where you are across Africa. Please share certain insights on how such scandals may be handled by the courts of law with respect to bail and whether such offenses should be bailable.
