Uganda, Oct. 17 -- Businessman Hamis Kiggundu of Ham Enterprises has petitioned the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) accusing the Principal Judge Flavian Zeija of misconduct in his case against Diamond Trust Bank (DTB).
In an October 15 letter to the chairman JSC, Mr Kiguddu, through his lawyers, wants the Principal Judge to recuse himself from any legal proceedings in regard to the case.
The businessman also wants the commission to investigate the matter.
On Tuesday, Justice Zeija issued an order blocking the execution of Commercial Court orders in which DTB was ordered to refund Shs34 billion and $23.2m (about Shs86 billion) which they reportedly deducted from Ham Enterprises' accounts.
Zeija's order did not go down well with the bus...
