- "The Courts martial exist illegally. They do not fit anywhere within the constitutional framework of this country and therefore, have no mandate or jurisdiction to continue trying civilians and even soldiers in their establishments which they call courts. They are not courts of law. They are just ad-hoc establishments put in place as a scarecrow against freedoms. If you look at the General Court Martial it has no other business apart from trying politicians or people who express political dissent in this country (Uganda). They are just an extension of Museveni rule and NRM's coercive arm...Gen Museveni just uses it to silence political dissent"- lawyer Medard Lubega Sseggona who is representing former Nakawa Municipality MP, Michael Kabaziguruka, a respondent in a Supreme Court case filed by the Attorney General challenging the Constitutional Court judgment in which the army court was ordered to stop trying civilians on grounds that it was illegal.
