In 1994 the World Bank gave a loan to the Defendan t to reconstruct the market and the latter did the reconstruction. In March 1995 the Plaintiff and Defendant entered an agreement whereby the Plaintiff would occupy stalls No. B1196, B1197 and B795 each measuring 7ft x 7ft for a monthly rental of Shs. 8, 050/= (Eight thousand fifty Shillings only). The stalls were let out in his other name of \'93Misago\'94. It was further agreed that after completion of the reconstruction the Plaintiff would not pay any other cost. The tenancy period was not fixed.

\par \par PW1 further testified that he duly and promptly paid the rent till November 1998. Each of the receipts for these payments was in the names of \'93Misago\'94 which was on his birth certificate. He was now seeking Court\rquote s help for the loss he suffered. \par \par \par \par \par In cross examination PW1 testified thus. \par \par He was paying graduated tax. He had only tickets for 1998 and 1999 which were in the names of \'93Aloysious Kakooza\'94 \'93Ssalongo\'94 was not a name but a title given to a father of twins. The agreement testified to in his evidence in Court was arrived at in a meeting that took place on 12/03/1997. He did not attend it. He did not know where it was held. It was called by the Defendant for all the vendors. There was no consideration in the agreement between him and the Defendant.

\par \par In 1997 all the vendors to pay an extra Shs. 150,000/= (One hundred fifty thousand shillings only) to the Stall Allocation Committee for allocation of completed stalls. He did not pay this amount. When referred to paragraph 3 of the plaint he testified th at a notice to sue the Defendant was served and replied to [Exhibit \'93D1\'94 and \'93P1\'94]. \par \par }{\b\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 \par \par PW2, ONYANGO STEPHEN (the 2}{\b\f37\fs26\super\insrsid1442730 nd}{\b\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 Plaintiff)}{\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 testified as follows: \par He was 52 years old and a vendor in Owino Market since 1993. He occupied stall No. G3817 measuring 8ft x 5 ft in the market since 1994 for which he was paying monthly dues of Shs. 3,450/= (Three thousand four hundred fifty shillings only). In 1995 the Senior Market Officer, Wilson Ganyana and the Chairman of the Municipal Vendors\rquote Association, Godfrey Kayongo were chosen to be some of the members of the Owino Steering Development Committee. They told him that after the market was reconstructed he would revert to his stall which would now be 7ft x 7ft. In this respect he filled a form and received a promise o f a certificate. He was not told he would pay for the reconstructed stall. The stall in fact reverted to him in 1997 after the reconstruction. It measured 3ft x 2ft but he did not receive the promised certificate. Although the Defendant promised to giv e him a lease the Defendant had not done so. Yet he was still paying due of Shs. 3,450/= (Three thousand four hundred fifty shillings only). \par \par \par In cross examination PW2 testified as follows: \par From 1993 \endash 1995 he did not have any written agreement with the De fendant but was given receipts for payments for the stall. In 1995, June, Godfrey Kayongo told him that as long as he continued paying his dues during the reconstruction period his stall would revert to him after the reconstruction. \par \par }{\b\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 PW3, CHARLES MUSHABE (9}{\b\f37\fs26\super\insrsid1442730 TH}{\b\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 PLAINTIFF)}{\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 testified as follows: \par He was 40 years old and dealt in second-hand clothing in Owino Market since 1990. In 1995 the Defendant promised him that as long as he paid dues of Shs. 8,350/= (Eight thousand three hundred and fifty shillings only) per month for his stall measuring 7ft x 7ft, it would revert to him after the reconstruction of the market. He duly paid and was given the receipts. (Exhibit \'93P2\'94 of 24 receipts). In December 1998 the Chairman of the Steering Committee, Kayongo, stopped the Plaintiff from further paying without assigning any reason. Up to the time of testifying in this Court his stall had not been returned to him. \par \par He prayed Court to order the Defendant to give him his stall No. D2434 of 7ft x 7ft and lease it to him without further payment. \par \par In cross examination Plaintiff No. 9 testified that between 1990 to 1994 he did not own a stall but sub-rented Segane\rquote s No. 1112 at Shs. 8,050/= per month. In 1995 he was allocated stall No. D2434 which was rented by Muluta. He st arted paying for it Shs. 8,350/= (Eight thousand three hundred fifty shillings only) per month in August 1996. It was registered in his names in 1996. He did not know the procedure for allocating completed stalls. \par \par In re-examination the witness testified that in 1995 he had paid Muluta for his (Muluta\rquote s) stall but had not got it registered in his names. By that time Muluta was paying the monthly dues. To-date he was operating without a stall and without paying any dues because the Defendant had refused to receive them. \par \par }{\b\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 PW4, JULIE NANTUME (the 4}{\b\f37\fs26\super\insrsid1442730 th}{\b\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 Plaintiff), }{\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 testified as follows: \par She was aged 38 years old. She prepared and served food in Owino Market since 1987. She occupied stall No. C. 1781 measuring 15ft x 10ft. In 1996 Kayongo and Ganyana visite d her stall to tell her that the Market was going to be reconstructed. During the reconstruction she would continue to pay her dues of Shs. 3,450/= (Three thousand four hundred fifty shillings only) per month. After the reconstruction she would revert t o her stall without further payment. She did know when reconstruction of her stall was completed. She did not revert to it. Nor was she allocated an alternative. She tried to pay but they refused to accept her money. She was told she could not revert b ecause she refused to pay Shs. 114,800/= (One hundred and fourteen thousand eight hundred shillings only) yet she had been told no further payment would be required after the reconstruction. After the reconstruction her stall was reduced to 3ft x 2ft. S he prayed Court to order the Defendant to re-allocate her, her stall. \par \par In cross examination the witness testified she filled in a form of an agreement. The size of her stall was not indicated on her receipts. The promises Ganyana and Kayongo made to her w ere verbal. The market was reconstructed in phases. This meant that where a phase affected a section of the vendors that section would be relocated to continue doing same business. The aforesaid Shs. 114,800/= (One hundred and fourteen thousand eight h undred shillings only) was not for the slabs for the floor of the market. She did not know the procedure for allocating the stalls. \par \par }{\b\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 PW5, FRANCIS NSAMBA (the 5}{\b\f37\fs26\super\insrsid1442730 th}{\b\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 Plaintiff) }{\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 testified as hereunder: \par He was 48 years old. In 1975 he worked in Owino Market se lling dry ration. He transacted business from gunny bags and the market was not built up. He was paying monthly market dues of Shs. 3,450/= (Three thousand four hundred fifty shillings only) to the Defendant for the period 1975 to 1998. He operated sta ll No. F3283 [\'93P3\'94 of 32 receipts]. In 1995 Kayongo told him together with other vendors that his stall would be demolished, a new market would be built in that place, each vendor would revert to his stall (5ft x 5ft) after the reconstruction without any f urther payment. The only condition was continued payment of the dues to the Defendant during the reconstruction period. \par \par The witness continued to pay the dues. The reconstruction was completed in 1997. Kayongo now demanded that the witness pays Shs. 115 ,800/= (One hundred and fifteen thousand eight hundred shillings only) to the Defendant so he could be allowed to re-occupy the stall which had now been reduced to 3ft x 3ft and therefore could not accommodate his produce. He did not go back to the stall . He now prayed Court to order the Defendant to hand over his stall measuring 7ft x 7ft without further payment and an order for compensation for the period he was idle. \par \par In cross-examination PW5 testified that though he did not go back to use the stall he appointed a caretaker and continued to pay the dues. Kayongo was Chairman of the \'93Municipal Market Vendors Association of Owino\'94 formed 1993 to which PW5 subscribed the Association had a constitution. During the reconstruction the vendors would be shifted from stall to stall. He had never read the document called \'93Urban Market Development Steering Committee \endash Terms of Reference\'94 (mentioned as item No. 7 to the plaint). The Defendant breached the contract between it and the World Bank on the reconstruct ion of the Market. He did not have authority to sue for the World Bank but was fighting for his interests. When he was originally allocated the stall he was not given any contract document from the Defendant. All he had were the receipts for payments.

In 1984 Kayongo allowed her to construct a stall of 10ft x 10 ft from where she prepared and sold food and paid monthly dues to the Defendant. In 1995 Kayongo told the vendors that t he market was going to be demolished for reconstruction. During the reconstruction the vendors would be exempt from payment of dues till completion. The vendors would not even be required to pay any expense for the reconstruction. However, when the rec onstruction started Kayongo asked for the monthly dues. She paid to Kayongo\rquote s Company called \'93O. T. T\'94 and got receipts (exhibit \'93P4\'94 ). When her stall was demolished, she shifted to another area within the market and operated from there for one year, after which she was evicted to date. \par \par PW6 further testified that when the reconstruction was completed she asked Kayongo for her stall. Kayongo ganged with the Defendant and refused to receive her dues allegedly because the Plaintiff (and other vendors) objecte d to the size of the reconstructed stalls of 2ft x 3ft. She prayed Court to direct the Defendant to return her stall to her. \par \par In cross examination PW6, testified when she was originally allocated the stall she did not sign any contract but that the contract was based on the dues she paid. The promises by Kayongo were in document in Kayongo\rquote s possession, Kayongo was the Chairman of the Municipal Market Vendors Association. After the reconstruction she was not offered another stall on the place she origina lly operated from. In the new market there were people operating the same trade as she did. Kayongo told the vendors that they would pay some money toward the reconstruction of the stalls. \par \par PW7, Gordon Musoke testified both in evidence in Court and cross examination. His evidence is one of a Plaintiff against the Defendant but not a witness of any of the Plaintiffs. However, his name does not appear in the plaint filed on 27/11/1997. This plaint was never amended to include him as a Plaintiff in this case. He thus has no locus standi under }{\f37\fs26\ul\insrsid1442730 S. 19 of the CPA and OTV of the CPR\rquote s.}{\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 His claim is hereby dismissed.

He started working in Owino Market in 1982. All the Plaintiffs were his fellow vendors there. In 1995 the Defendant sent Kayongo, the Chairman of \'93Municipal Market Vendors Association of Owino\'94 to inform the vendors that the market was going to be reconstructed. That after the reconstruction the vendors would return to their former stalls measuring 7\rquote x 7\rquote as long as they continued paying market dues of Shs. 3,450/= (Three thousand four hundred and fifty shillings only) per month during the reconstruction period. They would not pay any extra costs on resumption. However in 1997 the vendors were told that on resumption they would pay Shs. 3,450/= (Three thousand four hundred and fifty shillings only) per month and Shs. 115,000/= (One hundred and fifteen thousand shillings only) for a slab. \par \par In cross examination PW8 testified that he was only a witness but not a party to this case. In a written agreement the Defendant promised to build stalls for the vendors. He did not get a copy of that agreement. \{ This evidence did not bear on the issue of breach of contract and the consequences of the breach between the parties. Consequently I treat it as of no probative value for any of the Plaintiffs. I thus ignore it\}. \par \par }{\b\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 PW9, ABDU MATOVU}{\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 testified that: \par He was 41 years old. Since 1992 he was a vendor of second-hand clothes in Owino Market.

He knew that the 2}{\f37\fs26\super\insrsid1442730 nd}{\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 Plaintiff sued the Defendant for breach of an agreement. He saw the 2}{ \f37\fs26\super\insrsid1442730 nd}{\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 Defendant sign that agreement but did not recollect when he saw him sign it. The Defendant was to build a stall measuring 7\rquote x 7\rquote for the Plaintiff. Instead the Defendant built one measuring 3\rquote x 5\rquote . \par \par In cross-examination PW9 testified that he signed the aforesaid agreement in 1994 as a party because he had a stall in the market. He would be surprised if any Plaintiff or witness testified that it was oral. He did not have a copy. With this evidence the Plaintiff closed their case. \par \par }{\b\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 DW1, KAYONGO GODFREY}{\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 , testified as follows: \par He was 50 years old. In 1997 to 1998 he was Chairman of the Municipal Vendors Association as well as Chairman of the St. Balikuddembe Market Development Committee. The market was then Owino Market. \par \par The vendors were the members of the Association and they are the ones who elected him. The Association represented the Vendors where the Defendant was handling the Owino Market matters. The Market Development Committee oversaw the r econstruction of the market. He assumed the Chairmanship of the Association in 1987 and of the Committee in 1995. The role of the Committee ended in 2002 when the reconstruction ended. \par \par DW1 further testified that construction of the market started in 199 6. Before the commencement of the construction the Defendant met the representative of the Association. (DW1) and representatives of the various departments of the goods sold in the market. \par \par It was resolved that as the construction progressed the vendors would be shifted to temporary locations. The cost of constructing the shed would be met by the World Bank through the Defendant. The vendors would thereafter lease the space/stalls, construct the working slabs and install the fittings. \par \par The actual const ruction of the stalls, slabs and fitting would be done by a contractor employed by the vendors jointly to achieve uniformity. The parties did not agree on the size of each stall because the size depended on the goods sold. The Defendant would determine t he size unilaterally. The issue of payment or waiver of it after the reconstruction was not discussed. All the Plaintiffs herein were re-allocated stalls after the construction. The witness did not know if all the Plaintiffs paid because he was not a m ember of the Stalls Allocation Committee. \par \par In cross-examination DW1 testified that the most important term agreed on by the parties was that whoever had a stall before construction commenced and contributed payments during the construction would retain the stall after construction. There were 4,905 stalls before construction. There were 6,000 after the construction. The area for the construction was reduced due to the construction of the Nakivubo Channel, the introduction of walkways in the market, parkin g plots, two office blocks and two more toilets. The negotiations were minuted but not signed. \par \par \par In further cross-examination DW1 testified that payments varied: \par {\listtext\pard\plain\f37\fs26 \hich\af37\dbch\af0\loch\f37 (a)\tab}}\pard \qj \fi-720\li1080\ri0\sl480\slmult1\widctlpar\jclisttab\tx1080\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\ls4\adjustright\rin0\lin1080\itap0 {\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 Vendor in produce would pay Shs. 108,000/= (One hundred and eight thousand shillings only). \par }\pard \qj \li360\ri0\sl480\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin360\itap0 {\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 \par {\listtext\pard\plain\f37\fs26 \hich\af37\dbch\af0\loch\f37 (b)\tab}}\pard \qj \fi-720\li1080\ri0\sl480\slmult1\widctlpar\jclisttab\tx1080\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\ls4\adjustright\rin0\lin1080\itap0 {\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 A Vendor in garments would pay Shs. 150,800/= (One hundred and fifty thousand eight hundred shillings only). \par }\pard \qj \li0\ri0\sl480\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 \par {\listtext\pard\plain\f37\fs26 \hich\af37\dbch\af0\loch\f37 (c)\tab}}\pard \qj \fi-720\li1080\ri0\sl480\slmult1\widctlpar\jclisttab\tx1080\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\ls4\adjustright\rin0\lin1080\itap0 {\f37\fs26\insrsid1442730 A Vendor in food \'85 ..
