In the Reference the Applicant alleges that save for a copy of the “Notice to Return or Convey Prohibited Immigrant”, he was not furnished with any reasons, written or verbal why he was declared a prohibited immigrant. At paragraph 4 of his affidavit evidence, Mr Charles Okello Cowards, the Principal Immigration Officer, avers, inter alia, that he knows that under S.52 of the Uganda Citizenship and Immigration Control Act, Cap 66, Immigration officers are not under the obligation to give reasons for such actions. At the hearing Counsel for the Respondent told Court that the Applicant was handled under S.52 of Cap 66. 86.
