Two Ugandans have moved to court to block the recruitment of staff at the East African Community, citing a breach of the Treaty.
In a case filed before the East African Court of Justice, Waswa Bernard, a lawyer, and Kigozi Peter, an accountant, are seeking a temporary injunction to stop the recruitment. In their application, both Mr Waswa and Mr Kigozi claim that the 42nd Extra-Ordinary EAC Council of Ministers directed the Secretariat to start recruitment of about 50 staff for various organs and institutions.
