High Court transfers suspended Accountant General Lawrence Semakula's interdiction challenge to Civil Division

Justice David S.L. Makumbi of the High Court transferred suspended Accountant General Lawrence Semakula's challenge to his continued interdiction to the Civil Division, ruling that it concerns an administrative decision rather than a criminal matter, ChimpReports reports. Semakula, charged over a Shs20bn loss linked to altered transactions, argues the interdiction should have been lifted after six months; Treasury Secretary Ramathan Ggoobi told the court it was justified to protect public financial systems.
