Retired Supreme Court judge Esther Kisaakye is basically calling the tribunal investigating her a total sham and says Museveni set it up after she already bounced from the bench. She dropped a massive document laying out 25 reasons the whole thing is unconstitutional, pointing out she retired before they even tried starting an inquiry and that you cannot investigate someone who left office already. The beef traces back to her role in hearing the presidential election petition where Bobi Wine challenged the election results.
Kisaakye claims Chief Justice Owiny-Dollo froze her out of all cases after the hearing and never gave her work for years until she finally retired early. She says her judicial record is spotless across 13 years with zero complaints about competence or misconduct, and that the referral from the chief justice does not even count as a valid complaint under the rules. The judge fled into exile, citing threats to her life and is daring the tribunal members to either quit or keep running what she calls an illegitimate kangaroo court that wastes government money.
