Frustration: MPs Ssegirinya,Ssewanyana To Spend New Year In Jail As Bail Hearing Flops Again

by

Two jailed legislators Hon. Allan Ssewanyana for Makindye west and Ssegirinya Muhammad for Kawempe North are to spend more time in prison.

This comes after the international criminal court Registrar Pamela Lamunu Ocaya has pushing their pre-trial proceedings to 20th February 2023.

The duo will return to court for their bail application.

The law makers bail hearing was set to happen for November 5th but they were shocked by  absence of the trial Judge, Alice Komuhangi Khauka.

Judge Kaukha was appointed to hear the case in September this year of the two jailed MPs.

This followed the transfer of trial judge Elizabeth Alividza to the Land Division of the High Court.

On September 1, 2022 the case stalled due to the absence of a new trial judge.

While appearing on Zoom this morning, the Registrar Pamela Lamunu Ocaya adjourned the case which means that the two MPs will be spending their festive season in prison for the second time in a row.

Ssegirinya and Ssewanyana have been on remand at Kitalya government prison for 12 months on charges of murder, terrorism, and attempted murder relating to the wave of Machete murders that hit the Greater Masaka region last year, where at least 26 people were killed and several others injured by the assailants.
