A Ugandan lawyer on Monday, March 11, moved to the East African Court of Justice to oppose President William Ruto’s decision to recall EAC Secretary General Peter Mathuki. The lawyer stated that the decision by Kenya to recall the Secretary-General and replace him with another appointee was unlawful. The lawyer further wants the East African Community Summit, Parliament and/or Council of Ministers to implement any decision by Kenya to replace Mathuki. EAC Court of Justice has further been petitioned to award general, exemplary, punitive and aggravated damages to the Applicant. He had earlier served as a Member of Parliament of the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), from 2012 to 2017.
