The Constitutional Court has dismissed a petition in which Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago was, among others, challenging the powers of then Kampala Affairs Minister Frank Tumwebaze to form a tribunal that impeached him in 2013.

Mr Lukwago had accused Mr Tumwebaze of having participated in all processes, including chairing the meeting of the council that made the final decision on whether to impeach him or not.

He had accused the minister of being the accuser, prosecutor and the judge in the same case.
