BUGINGO vs RRA
The Court held that RRA's forfeiture of Bugingo Martin's vehicle was unlawful because there was no admission of guilt or conviction by a competent court as required by the East African Community Customs Management Act. Consequently, Bugingo Martin was entitled to the return of his vehicle and compensation for proven loss of use, as his claims were substantiated and not new to the proceedings.
