Re KAMANZI (INCONST)
The Supreme Court held that the differentiation in grounds for review between persons convicted by Gacaca courts and those convicted by ordinary courts is based on objective and reasonable criteria, justified by the special context, objectives, and procedures of Gacaca courts. This does not amount to prohibited discrimination or denial of fair justice under Articles 15, 16, or 29 of the Constitution.
