Gen Kale Kayihura Applies To Be An Advocate Of The High Court

Former Inspector General of Police Gen Kale Kayihura has applied to the Uganda Law Council to become a Uganda court advocate. Kayihura, who is also a qualified lawyer is on the list of 20 others seeking to become legal advocates in different courts across the country.

Apparently, the former IGP got approval during the law council meeting on 10th November 2021 at 10:00 am.

The mandate of the Law Council is to act as the overall regulatory authority for the entire legal profession and legal aid service providers in Uganda.

However, it also inspects law chambers. And issues a certificate of approval of the chamber that conforms to the required standards.

It, however, remains unclear if the high court will allow the former IGP to practice. Especially with the ongoing case in the army.

Earlier this week, the Commander of Land Forces Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, pleaded with his father, President Museveni to forgive Kayihura. He said that Kayihura was a special cadre who inspired him to serve Uganda.

‘’Gen K Kayihura was one of those special cadres in the early 1990s who inspired us to serve our nation. Others were late Generals Mayombo and Kazini. If he made mistakes, let us use revolutionary methods of work to rectify them. I request the CIC to forgive and rehabilitate him,’’ Muhoozi said in a tweet.

While President Museveni campaigned for another term in Kisoro, Kayihura’s home area earlier this year, local leaders asked him to forgive their son.

[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
