NEWS– The women leaders of the People’s Front for Freedom PFF at their party headquarters in Katonga have delivered their petition to Uganda Law Society.
The petition protesting Martha Karua’s temporary practicing certificate denial was on Monday 16th December 2024 delivered to the Uganda Law Society offices.
This came after the women leaders outsmarted the police that was heavily guarding the headquarters at Katonga against delivering a petition to Justice Irene Mulyagonja the Uganda Law Council Chief.
From the petition seen by our reporter, the women leaders expressed their concerns about the trial of Dr. Kizza Besigye and Hajj Obeid Lutale in court martial.
They also highlighted their dissatisfaction with the recent decision by the law council to deny the application of Martha Karua which they say is in a total disregard of proper use of discretion granted under the law.
According to them, denying Martha Karua a practicing certificate is a limitation of the leaders’ right to a lawyer of choice.
The women leaders demandes the council to revisit the decision taken and grant Hon.Martha Karua a special practicing certificate before 7th day of January 2025.
