101. We found indeed that the Attorney General’s legal opinion to the IGG was merely advisory and did not have a binding effect. Hence, the IGG acted independently in accordance with her constitutional mandate. Consequently, once we have dismissed Issue No.3, prayer (2) becomes moot and is thus disallowed. 102. Prayer (3): An order enforcing compliance with and adherence to the Treaty and directing the Government of Uganda to immediately adhere and comply with the Treaty by taking measures to recover the USD17,826,038.94 from M/S Quality Chemical Industries Ltd rather than deeming the same to have been recovered through the review and amendment of the original Memorandum of Understanding at the execution of the Amended Memorandum of Understanding and Guarantee. 103. Firstly, the above prayer is grounded on the alleged violation of the Treaty. 104. Secondly, prayers No.1, 2 and 3 are interconnected and once we have disallowed the precedent prayers, the third one automatically collapses. 105. Prayer No.4: An order that the costs of this Reference be paid by the Respondent. 106. Rule 111(1) of the EACJ Rules of Procedure provides that costs shall follow the event in any proceeding unless the Court shall for good reasons otherwise order. In that regard, we did not find any public interest in this Reference, rather the Applicant (Whistle-blower) was prompted by personal interests as an alleged whistle-blower. 107. Accordingly, the Applicant shall bear costs for this Reference. Reference No. 5 of 2013 Page 35
