However \hich\f0 \lquote \loch\f0 major variation\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 should first be established before the \hich\f0 \lquote \loch\f0 shall\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 ki\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 cks in.

I take judicial notice of the fact that Ugandans use several names interchangeably, which is a cause of great annoyance. This is further complicated by the fact the count \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 r\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 y has no National Identity Card and therefore there is no central system requiring citizens to stick to a particular order of their names. There is no mechanism of enforcing compliance with a given order of names. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 It is this lack of a National Identity Ca\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 rd that has allowed the interchangeable use of names to flourish; sometimes for fraudulent purposes but other times just innocently and because there are no sanctions against it. The duty of courts and other administrative bodies therefore is to establish \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 whether the change in names, or in the order of names, was done with a fraudulent intent in mind or not. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 The relevant law here sets the standard of whether the variation in names was major or not. Court is to evaluate the available evidence to establish wh\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 ether or not the variation in the instant case was major or minor. I find that the variation between OMAYENDE JOSHUA AND OMAYENDE JOSHUA KASIBBO was not a major enough variation to confuse the voters. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 On the sub issue of qualifications, counsel for the pet\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 itioner argues that as long as the petitioner possessed the minimum qualification, the Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education, the said degree was immaterial. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 Counsel for the 1}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\super\insrsid14173448\charrsid12594147 \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 st}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid14173448\charrsid12594147 \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 respondent avers that the petitioner presented for his nominations a degree\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 in Business Administration, which he did not attach and therefore did not possess.

This would be fine if it was not that the stamp on that letter from Mbogo Kezekia indicates that it was received on 18/10/2010. So the letter was responded to before it was officially stamped as rece \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 i\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 ved three months later. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 This litany of communication betrays dysfunctionality in the system. It shows that the ideal situation envisaged when deciding that \hich\f0 \lquote \loch\f0 resignation takes effect on acceptance\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 was absent in this case. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 It would be unjust and injudiciou\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 s to subject such a dysfunctional system to the same standard as expected in an ideal system. In an ideal system where mail is responded to uniformly and diligently resignation cannot be complete until accepted by a proper officer. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 However in a system wher\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 e there is selective acknowledgment of communication and therefore lack of proper systems an exception has to be made to the rule that resignation is complete only after acceptance of resignation. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 Resignation in such situations should only be read from th\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 e intention of the officer wishing to resign, when he wrote the letter of resignation, when it was received by the proper officer, if at all, and whether the proper officer acknowledged receipt of the letter and accepted or rejected the request to resign \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 a\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 nd after how long. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 If a reasonable time has elapsed and the proper officer has not taken any action on a letter, which evidence shows has been received, it should be surmised that such an officer has abdicated his duties. In this case, more than six months \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 have elapsed since the 1}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\super\insrsid14173448\charrsid12594147 \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 st}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid14173448\charrsid12594147 \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 respondent\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 s letter was received by the Security Registry of the Ministry of Public Service. Yet no response, one way or another, has been received according to evidence available to this court.

\par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 There should be a reasonable \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 time within which to expect certain things. It should be expected that when a letter is written it should be received within a certain period of time. After it has been received it should be responded to within a certain period of time. Failure of which s \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 o\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 mebody should be held to account and in my view that person should not be the person who is seeking an answer from the proper officer. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 I am of the view that three months is way too long a time for a letter to stagnate between any two points regardless o\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 f how far from each other within Uganda. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 The only way that delay of three months should be held against the respondent would be if it was shown and proved that he had a hand in that delay. No evidence to that effect has been led. I find that it would be to \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 o harsh and unjust to visit the penalty for those three months delay on the 1}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\super\insrsid14173448\charrsid12594147 \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 st}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid14173448\charrsid12594147 \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 respondent. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 He expressed his intention to resign and run for office way before the expiry of the 90 days. The proper officer cannot be given a lifetime to respond. After passag\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 e of a reasonable time, I would suggest that the officer expecting a response can act on the silence and construe it to mean consent. Otherwise we would make a mockery of the 90 days and consequently frustrate officers wishing to resign. \par \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 Indeed, all commu\hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 nication from the office of the proper officer seems to indicate that they did not have any problem with the 1}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\super\insrsid14173448\charrsid12594147 \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 st}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \f0\fs24\insrsid14173448\charrsid12594147 \hich\af0\dbch\af37\loch\f0 respondent\hich\f0 \rquote \loch\f0 s request to resign.
