| 2ND LEG OF ISSUE NO. 4 - GIFTS, ETC.
I now turn to the second aspect of issue No.4 which is whether the first Respondent personally or through his agents committed other illegal practices or offence in the form of bribes or other considerations as argued by Mr. Walubiri, on behalf of the Petitioner. This refers more about complaints in para3 (2) (b), (d) and (e) of the petition. Learned Counsel submitted that the first respondent personally or through his agents offered gifts, money and other considerations with the intention of securing voters to vote for him. That in that case he committed illegal practice. According to Counsel, the first Respondent’s answer and the accompanying affidavit of the first Respondent which were to rebut the complaints of the petitioner, consist mainly of mere general denials. Mr. Walubiri categorised the giving of gifts into those given by the first Respondent personally and those given through or by his agents.
