"Take notice that Matovu Francis alias Butto being dissatisfied with the ruling of Honorable Justice Ssekaana Musa which was delivered on the 27th day of July 2022 in the High Court of Uganda at Kampala Civil Division intends to appeal to the Court of Appeal against the whole decision and orders made therein," reads the notice in
