The president of Uganda law society, ULS Ruth Sebatindira has denied knowledge of a fake statement that made rounds on social media platforms claiming she had acknowledged last week’s presidential and parliamentary elections as free and fair.
In a statement sent all media houses late this afternoon, Ms Sebatindira sasya it is evident that a somber mood hovers over many parts of our Country after the recently concluded Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
Presidential election results were announced when at least one Presidential Candidate was under house arrest. That candidate has continued to be variously incarcerated and press reports indicate continued multiple arrests of opposition supporters, while the FDC party suffers at the hands of government.
In the statement, she also encourages all aggrieved parties, Presidential and Parliamentary candidates, to petition the Supreme Court and High Court respectively for the necessary orders.
