Court will today hear the evidence in the case against government in regard to accusations of rejecting renewal of an operating licence to a labour recruitment firm.

Kampala High Court Judge Esta Nambayo will hear the case in which Competitive Manpower International Limited is seeking for orders to compel the ministry of labour to renew its operating license which expired in July 2017.

The case followed numerous correspondences after the ministry labour allegedly declined to renew the operating license for the above mentioned recruitment firm.

Through its lawyers of M/s Nsubuga K. S Advocates, the labour externalisation company filed the application for judicial review against the Attorney General (AG) challenging the decision of the labour ministry declining to renew its license.

“There is no satisfactory and speedier alternative remedies open to the applicant for immediate remedy, full and effectual redress of the injustice accessioned to the applicant. The applicant has a prima facie case both on the facts and law and is aggrieved by the actions of the respondent (AG),” reads the court documents.

It is alleged that government through the labour ministry neglected, failed and refused to invite the company to defend itself against the allegations put forward by various people and instead terminated the process of renewal of the licence.
