I'm heading to my office, vows Lukwago

Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago has vowed to head to his office today (Thursday) amidst heavy deployment at his home.

Addressing a news conference at his home in Wakaliga a Kampala suburb, Lukwago said he intends to storm the Deputy Chief Justice's office to seek for proper interpretation of a ruling deterring him from accessing his office.

His is move follow the Attorney General Fred Ruhindi's advise that Lukwago can only access his office at the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) building upon the expiration of the current term and after being duly sworn in and handed instruments of power.

Responding to an earlier letter written by KCCA Executive Director Jennifer Musisi who was seeking guidance regarding Lukwago's intended access to the office among others, the AG said:

"It would be contempt of court orders for Erias Lukwago to access the office of the Lord Mayor, perform any functions or derive any benefits that come with the office in the current term unless and until the court orders otherwise."

The AG noted that even though Lukwago had been granted a temporary injunction restraining the Attorney General, Electoral Commission and the KCCA from declaring the seat vacant and organizing a by-election, the Court of Appeal restrained him from performing the functions of the Lord Mayor pending the determination of the main application which was supposed to be heard within 21 days.
