East African Court of Justice has dashed hopes of Ugandan traders to lock out South Sudan from the East African Community on the basis that it’s unfit for membership.
A five judge bench comprising justices Jean Butasi, Isaac Lenaola, Faustin Ntezilyayo, Monica Mugenyi and Fakihi Jundu dismissed the suit filed by Patrick Ntege, Dan Sseng and Mohammed Waiga against the Attorney Generals of the five Partner States in the bloc saying that the court could not pronounce itself on the mandate vested only on the member countries.
