KAMPALA-UGANDA/NEWSDAY: Controversial and perennial litigant, Male Mabirizi has penned a new damaging letter against Justice Musa Ssekana who he alleges exchanges justice for money.
In his February16, 2022 letter to the Inspector General of Government titled “Ssekaana Musa, Judge’s latest wealth declarations”, Mabirizi expressed doubt whether Justice Musa Ssekaana declared his wealth with the IGG in accordance with the law.
Mabirizi said that his credible sources indicate that Justice Musa Ssekaana’s wealth is as a result of illicit, corrupt and fraudulent ‘administration of justice’ where parties to cases before him who are willing to pay have options either to pay in cash or kind.
“I address you in my capacity as a civically active Ugandan with a citizenry duty under Article 17(1)(i) of the Constitution which provides that ‘It is the duty of every citizen of Uganda— to combat corruption,” the letter reads in part. Iam aware that it is a legal requirement that a person employed in Public service, like Ssekaana Musa, Judge of the High Court are required to disclose their wealth to you,” the letter reads further,” Mabirizi wrote.
He added; “If he did, I hereby proceed under Article 41 of The Uganda 1995 Constitution and Section 5 of The Access to information Act, 2005 to Request for the certified copies,” Mabirizi states in his letter to the IGG.”
“I need the details to compare with the information already in my possession regarding the illicit accumulation of wealth by Judge Ssekaana Musa within and outside Uganda since 2018 when he took the office of a Judge of The High Court of Uganda,” the letter reads further.
“It is also indicated that he has registered some of this massive wealth in the names of his family relatives, but mostly in his names for fear of being betrayed by the family members most of whom he doesn’t trust owing to family wrangles in his father’s home caused by, among others, his unbecoming conduct and behavior towards his siblings and relatives,” Mabirizi narrates in his letter.
Mabirizi asked the IGG to avail him with the information to enable him take essential steps to prosecute justice Ssekaana for the offence of illicit enrichment contrary to Section 31 of The Anti- Corruption Act, 2009 to which he will be liable for imprisonment for 10 years, confiscation and auction of the said properties and wealth and a 10 year Public Service ban.
