National Unity Platform (NUP) top lawyer Samuel Muyizzi Mulindwa has warned party members who have petitioned court to recover their stolen victory and those petitioned against to be very aware that the process they are going to be subjected to is not going to be fair according to intelligence he has gathered.
Muyizzi, one of the experienced lawyers in election petition said that members of the Deep Stae have already generated a list of people who are going to be favoured and those who are going to be fought during the coming election petitions to share it with judicial officers who are going to preside over the trials.
“They have already allocated files to different judicial officers even before the petitions start because those judges also are in Acting capacity. I don’t think that they will stand on their ground to give justice because they are also human beings and they want to be retained and the only way to achieve that is through appeasing members of the Deep Stae,” Muyizzi said.
He insisted that he will not be shocked if some election petitions are handled in the same way that Masaka Chief Magistrate Albert Asiimwe handled Justine Nameere’s vote count application against NUP’s Rose Nalubowa.
