The OC admitted that the CD was not there but denied that any other items were missing. He said ‘the Chairman has taken the CD to town. I will give it back to you tomorrow’. He told her to return to the police station the next day.   [17.] The next day, Friday 22 July 2005, she went to the police station again, and was not given the CD. She was however concerned that perhaps other items would be taken so she went to her home for the first time since discovering that men had forced their way into it.   [18.] When she entered the house, she was dismayed to find that it had been ransacked. The stool was knocked over on its side and her property had been thrown around the house. Her official documents and papers from the book rack and box were scattered on the floor. There were also important documents, a CD and a box of diskettes that were indeed missing. The whole house was in disorder. Her heart sank to find her property invaded and her work rampted, destroyed and taken for no reason. The CD was later returned to her by the LC1 Chairman.

They were acting in the usual course of their employment and the Attorney-General is therefore vicariously liable.   [19.] The actions were also gross violation of several international human rights instruments to which Uganda is a signatory. The breaches complained of are:   6 / 19
