Margaret today, Karua addressed the council\u2019s concerns and questioned the procedural integrity of its decision-making process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Karua, the rejection letter, dated December 6, 2024, cited several deficiencies in her application, including a lack of notarization for her practicing certificate, nationality documents, and academic qualifications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Besigye&#8217;s legal team member Lawyer Eron Kiiza via his tweet (X) hundle said that the Law Council decision declining the application of Senior Counsel Martha Karua contradicts Articles 20, 28, 42, 43, 44(c) &amp; 45 of the Ugandan Constitution as well as the Treaty for the Establishment of the East African Community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kizza added that the decision offends international law including the African Charter urging that politics of Karua Martha are not valid or relevant reason for shutting door to her legal practice in Uganda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KAMPALA &#8211; UGANDA: The Uganda Law Council has denied a seasoned Kenyan lawyer Martha Karua a temporary
