Hi Milton, This kind of civil action in courts of law is what is refered to us Public Interest litigation. Where a member or a group of persons or an organisation goes to court to enforce the rights of citizens. Such a right has to be provided for in the law. A right that defends the public good.
In my view it is highly encouraged that as citizens for the good of our selves and the greater public, we should always take interest is such litigations either against government or even local governments who are incharge of managing our affairs and resources. By this i don't mean to suggest what is unlawful but the opposite. I have noted that not many Ugandans have persued this angle of enforcing their rights but rather to lament & lament on all sorts of forums including ours here. Going to courts of law is Demoratic and a high level of civilisation! Akile Sunday Igu Rocks Managing Partner, M/s Akile, Olok & Co.
