The OC ordered the forceful undressing of the second applicant in public and fondled her breast. This is humiliating, and degrading and contravened article 24 of the Constitution which militates against torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. It also amounted to abuse of office by the said OC. This case as Mr Rwakafuzi rightly pointed out in his submission is, however, about abuse of the applicants’ human rights and not abuse of office.
