Constitutional Court bars Bank of Uganda from indiscriminate freezing of customer bank accounts without a court order

5 Justices of Appeal/Constitutional Court Irene Mulyagonja, Egonda-Ntende, Elizabeth Musoke, Muzamiru Kibeedi and Cheborion Barishaki anonymously ruled that allowing BoU to indiscriminately freeze bank accounts while shielding it from being sued for doing so was unconstitutional and ordered the Attorney General to harmonise all laws to give only courts powers to freeze accounts.
