The Judicial Service Commission has acknowledged receipt of a complaint by businessman, Hamis Kiggundu against Principal Judge, Dr.Flavia Zeija in regards the manner he has handled the shs120 billion DTB case.

The lawyers say they are concerned over the flippant movement of the case file in a manner which they say appears to hijack the judicial process.

“We question why the Principal Judge who is not an allocate judge sitting in the judgment of our client’s case should take away our client’s file at a time when the defendants are seeking an interim order to stay execution of orders he neither issued nor can stay in law,” Muwema says.
