“Emphasizing that the jurisdiction of the General Court Martial is limited to the provisions of the UPDF Act by necessary implication means that its jurisdiction does not extend to other Acts of parliament. The composition and the power of appointment of the Court Martial members by the UPDF High Command further emphasize its restrictive nature. Parliament intended that the jurisdiction of the General Court Martial extends only to the UPDF,” a ruling by justice Kenneth Kakuru reads in part. The court’s ruling follows a 2016 petition by the then Nakawa MP Michael Kabaziguruka challenging his trial in the General Court Martial. Kabaziguruka was accused of being found with firearms - a preserve of armed forces. It was said then that he intended to use them to overthrow a democratically elected government of Uganda.
