Justice Kwesiga however noted that the above principle has been used to settle many cases sighting Kiiza Besigye Vs Yoweri Kaguta Museveni which was handled by chief justice Benjamin Odoki.

He says the principle of free and fair can’t be compromised. Justice Kwesiga said Kwotasobora used several piece of evidence against the 1^st and 2^nd respondents but his witness could not convince court. Court found that the petitioner and his witness failed to provide the allegations of bribery by the 1^st respondent and the means which she used to move around the constituency.

He also said there is no evidence to show that the soldiers were deployed in Bujenje and that they intimidated people. Justice Kwesiga ruled that the baseless claim is therefore dismissed.

The petition is not entitled to any thing he asked both of them to cater for the costs involved in their case. However Kyotasobora immediately instructed his lawyer Rashid Babu to appeal. Minister Kabakumba was not in court but was represented by her lawyer John Paul Baingana
