Senior lawyers have dismissed a move by the newly elected president of the Uganda Law Society to expel Attorney General Kiryowa Kiwanuka from the Society's Council.
The senior lawyers said Mr Isaac Ssemakadde's executive order has no legal backing.
On Monday, Mr Ssemakadde issued an Executive Order (RNB N0. 1 OF 2024) expelling the Attorney General, Kiryowa Kiwanuka alongside Solicitor General Mr Francis Atoke and their representatives from the ULS Council.
Mr Ssemakadde reasoned that he was safeguarding the independence of the legal profession since the duo belongs to the executive arm of the government.
Mr Simon Peter Kinobe, the former ULS president, said Mr Ssemakadde does not have the mandate to operate outside the precincts of law.
