The plan to oust him is being championed by his very archival, Paphrous Imodot Edimu who is backed by a group of some royals in Teso. Edimu has told journalists in Teso that they have been forced to fight Emorimor because of his reported refusal to organise polls and pave way for his successor. Edimu says that the post of Emorimor is elective and that the current Emorimor has over stayed on the chair.

The term of office for the current Emorimor expired in 2009. The term of office for the Emorimors lasts for only five years. Edimu says that whenever they attempt to organise fresh elections, the current Emorimor uses police and area politicians to frustrate the function.

He says that last year the current Emorimor used the area RDC to disband the election of a new Emorimor which was to take place in Lukikho hall, in Soroti. Edimu however vows that the current Emorimori will be replaced by February this year. By Moureen Nakyanzi

The former Member of Parliament for Lubaga North, Singh Katongole has reportedly developed high blood pressure after losing his seat to his rival, Moses Kasibante on Monday 24/oct/2011.

We have been reliably informed that Singh has not eaten anything and he is bedridden at home since Monday when the High Court sitting inKampala declared Moses Kasibante the duly elected Member of Parliament for Rubaga North saying he was the rightfully elected member of constituency.

This was contained in the Monday High Court judgment which lasted more than one and a half hours. The High Court Judge Justice Kibuuka Musoke faulted the Mengo Chief Magistrate for issuing a vote re-count order and abdicating the re-count process to a third party which should not have been the case as stipulated by the Parliamentary and Presidential Elections Act which led to the mess that followed the process later.

Kibuuka Musoke’s ruling brought to an end Singh’s brief parliamentary career that saw him a couple of weeks making a submission during the heated oil agreements debate in the house in support of the NRM party.
