Another case that merits consideration here is Rtd Col Dr. Kizza Besigye Vs Electoral Commision and Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, Presidential Election Petition No. 1 of 2006 where non registration of an affidavit deponed to in a foreign country was considered a matter that could not bar the court to admit the affidavit. To my mind however, each of those cases is distinguishable from the instant petition. In Matsiko’s case, (supra) the fees were actually paid into court belatedly though.

Where the whole or any part of any fees prescribed for any document by the law for the time being in force relating to court fees has not been paid, the court may, in its discretion, at Any stage, allow the person by whom the fee is payable to pay the whole or part, as the case may be, of that court fees; and upon the payment, the document in
