But Hon. Lubwama says he is dissatisfied with the decision filed an application asking the Judge to allow him appeal.
The judge has set 5th January 2017 to rule on whether or not to grant Kato Lubwama to appeal against the decision.
The judge noted that Buwembo had proved that it took him seven months to discover the said fraud, UNEB having clarified on Kato Lubwama’s academic papers on the October 10, 2016 hence filing his application on the October 12, 2016.
“Fraud is a serious allegation and it should be taken seriously and carefully. It cannot be merely exhausted through investigations since these matters pertaining an MP’s qualification are of a great national importance,” Justice Oumo said.
Oguli ruled that there is unchallenged evidence on court records showing that Kato Lubwama lied to the Electoral Commission that he possessed a valid O level certificate from Old Kampala SSS yet the same is not registered by the Uganda Registration Services Bureau.
