A chief magistrate's court has ordered the Electoral Commission to
reveal the source of money and names of funders of the ruling NRM. The
order was issued by Timothy Lumunye at Nakawa on October 31, 2014 but
six months down the road the EC has not complied.
The order stemmed from a case filed by Francis Atugonza (not the
former mayor of Hoima and FDC supporter). Atugonza wanted to access the
party's audited accounts between 2010 and 2013 from the EC. When the EC
failed to act on his request last year, Atugonza took the matter to
court.
According to the order, EC should provide Atugonza with information
regarding the "records of contribution, donation or pledges made by the
founders or promoters of NRM, statements of accounts showing sources of
funds and the names of persons that have contributed [to NRM],
properties belonging to the party and annual audited accounts for the
period NRM has been in existence to date."
