(d). contrary to section 32(5) of the Act the 2nd respondent completed compiling a purported Final Voters’ Register on Saturday 10—March 10, 2001, and failed when requested by the Petitioner to supply copies of the same to the Petitioner and his agents although the petitioner was ready and willing to pay for the same.
(e). That contrary to sub-section (e) and section 18 of the Electoral Commission Act the 2nd Respondent failed to compile, maintain and up-date the National Voters’ Register, the Voters’ Roll for each Constituency and Voters’ Roll for each Polling Station within each Constituency and as a result the Voters’ Register and the said Voters’ Rolls contained many flaws such as dead people’s names and names of those who ought not to vote in Uganda remaining on the Register while several persons who were eligible voters had their names omitted from the said Register and Rolls”
There is an apparent contradiction between the two grounds, one saying that the Voters’ Register was completed late; the other saying that there was a completed failure to do so.
The 2d Respondent countered these allegations by his Answer to the petition as follows:
“3. In reply to paragraph 3(1) (d) of the petition the Second Respondent denies ever refusing any request by the Petitioner for copies of the final Voters’ Register as alleged but non — delivery thereof was due to insufficient time to prepare the register.
