High Court of Uganda: Zeija J, 25 October 2023 HC-17-CV-CS-0034-2023 Episcopal appointment – reviewable by secular courts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 May 2024
In April 2023, the House of Bishops of the Province of the Church of Uganda elected Canon Godfrey Kasana as Bishop of Luwero. Before his consecration could take place, however, a member of the church submitted a petition alleging that he was unsuitable for consecration on grounds of adultery – and in June the House of Bishops revoked his nomination. The respondents, in effect, sought judicial review of that decision, while the Archbishop argued that the claim was brought against the wrong party and was frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of process.
