shouldn't hide behind boardroom discussions but immediately stop being in contempt of court decisions re Testimony Motors vs URA. The Fall Back Method is illegal in assessing motor vehicle taxes.
You only need 1 high court PC(which you can get after 2 years of LDC, it doesnt take lawyers 5 years like enginiyas), a front desk, boardroom and partners office to open your law firm. Its much better than working for someone else. 🙃
People using the Paara route going to Northern Uganda through Murchison falls should sue Ug Wildlife under Judicial on grounds that the requirement to pay a toll on a road that is not designated as a toll road is illegal and irrational.

No one owns a wetland. Any such ownership of wetlands, forests and any natural resources was taken away by the Constitution (Art.237) and vested into the government as a custodian for safe keeping. The Constitution overrides grants given by 1900 Agreement, which wasn't law.
The Kabaka of Buganda owns the Lubigi land. There are people who owned bibanja in Lubigi before the NEMA Act came into force. Those people never lost their right to own their bibanja. They only need consent from NEMA before they develop them. They also pay busuulu as bibanja

High staff departures has caught my eye. Is it because of too much performance pressure? Are the targets set by govt unattainable? Word has it that people's targets have been doubled all of a sudden so some would rather resign than have lifestyle diseases.

Ugandans reacting to this don't understand, English has to be spoken with an English accent the same way Luganda ought to be spoken with a Ugandan accent. That's why Prince Semakokiro sounds weird speaking Luganda with an English accent. We often sound funny speaking to them.

My friend these are facts as seem by the court not it's decision. The court believed that these facts support the exceptions to the Foreign Act of State Rule as a public policy consideration. The matter has been referred back to High Court for hearing on merits.

Haha someone needs to stay in his engineering lane, doing a few courses of law doesn't mean you have experienced what lawyers go through you and therefore it means your opinions are irrelevant.
Haha Tonny that's not what they ruled.
Simply put, the court reversed the High Court decision that had barred English Courts from hearing Sudhir's claim basing that on the Foreign Act of State Rule. IOW, the COA found that there was an exception since the transaction...
The COA of England has in its entire ruling confirmed that

With or without any invoice to prove that you didn't forge the value of the MV, URA doesn't care and always uses their own value because it's higher and fetches them more revenue albeit in an illegal manner. You know EACCMA applies to Kenya and TZ, their taxman doesn't fleece em
@MilcahMazLenore
I as well am confounded by those same questions. But seeing the response from BLB, they're not even thinking about refunding moneys they got from people illegally.
How is it as a people that eventhough we never witnessed a crime, we can be so sure how it occurred and who did it? Why? Because we read it a story about it in the papers. (Refer to majority of replies to this tweet for context)

Btw it's not only the illegality, it's the unbridled and wanton abuse of power. They feel they're untouchables, that even when court rules one way, they spit in the face of court. It's this contempt that we need to put a leash on.
