"...the Constitution will endure as a vital charter of human liberty as long as there are those with the courage to defend it, the vision to interpret it, and the fidelity to live by it." ~ William J. Brennan

[Ronald Muhinda @RonaldMuhinda]

The greatest appointment in life is integrity. Justice Egonda-Ntende carries with him megatonnes of integrity away from the CoA.

[Dominic Adeeda @DOMINICADEEDA]

Powerful indeed! He will be deeply missed.

[Phillip Karugaba @PhillipKarugaba]

What a parting shot from the inimitable erudite Lord Justice Fredrick Egonda Ntende, the Chief Justice Uganda never had! All “chitijens”must listen. Justice must have compassion. Justice must have a soul!

Hon. Justice Engonda Ntende Martin Frederick S. signed out of service as member of team @JudiciaryUG today with a heartfelt goodbye after glowing tributes to his glistening career.

This caps a long and honourable tenure as a judicial emblem of integrity, humility, innovation, excellence, fear of God, liberty, justice, honour, wisdom, truth and judicial independence as articulated by such eminent speakers as Justice Madrama (JSC); @RKirunda, James Ssebugyenyi (Senior Counsel) and others.

The bar, the bench, the public and others will miss this throbbing wellspring of judicial excellence. We salute his towering legacy.

[Dominic Adeeda @DOMINICADEEDA]

As he retires, he joins the pantheon of Uganda's legendary judges and remains a testament that a judge's robe is woven from impartiality and their gavel carved in Justice. His judicial work has fortified our country's democratic foundations and his legacy speaks to us all.

In the hallowed halls of Uganda's judiciary, Justice Egonda Ntende stood as a colossus. For over three decades, he has embodied unyielding fidelity to the law as a jurist.

His career testifies to judicial courage rooted in the supremacy of the law.

@SilverKayondo @apollo_morgan The entire 'testimony' was witless and disingenuous. From the unsubstantiated claims of exceptional derogation of non derogable rights (Art.44(c)) to the mix up of the ICD and criminal division.

Summarily, the Bill comes short in the legal clarity as @KiryowaKk rightly opines it should. This definitional ambiguity is an open invitation, if indeed not inevitably an antecedent to arbitrary and unrestrained administration of the Bill.

[Dominic Adeeda @DOMINICADEEDA]

My senior, I have read both, your thoughts yesterday, and today's article by the learned AG @KiryowaKk. I think segments of both writings speak to the Ideal, rather than what the Bill actually contains. As is, the Bill has overly broad and vague definitions of key terms.
1/4

[Dominic Adeeda @DOMINICADEEDA]

It also cultivates jurisdictional confusion as it is unclear how the department's mandate will interact with other agencies with primary mandate. (I am aware of section 3(3) of the Bill).

@IduwatOchom @pmagelah Very disturbing!

[Magelah Peter Gwayaka. @pmagelah]

Lately, I see a lot of this argument, and I wonder where state lawyers got the idea that poor people should not stand surety for their relatives. It seems justice is now for sale; only the rich can get even basic rights like bail or presumption of innocence. What a shame!

[Dominic Adeeda @DOMINICADEEDA]

@MujuziProf @NUP_Ug I agree, Prof.
We should never have reached this point in the first place. Bail must not be arbitrarily or unreasonably denied but judiciously extended at all times to those accused of bailable offenses.
