Former Forum for Democratic Change leader Rt. Col. Dr Kiiza \u00a0Besigye has been denied bail before Buganda Road Court after the magistrate ruled that he has no guarantee if he will not commit similar offences once released.<\/p>\n

Presiding Grade one magistrate Asuman Muhumuza \u00a0says both Besigye and \u00a0Lubega Mukaku were \u00a02 weeks ago charged before the same Court \u00a0with incitment to violence \u00a0and released on bail but it has surprised him that they are back again on similar charges within a short period .<\/p>\n

It has been \u00a0Muhumuza’s ruling \u00a0that he is \u00a0under the duty to protect the sanctity and integrity of the court which should not be dragged into politics \u00a0hence denying the pair bail and sending \u00a0them back on remand at Luzira prison for another 2 weeks.<\/p>\n

Besigye and \u00a0 Mukaku were arrested on Tuesday this week as they were demonstrating against the sky -rocking prices of commodities .<\/p>\n

The duo \u00a0then \u00a0 pleaded not guilty to one count of incitment to violence which \u00a0prosecution contended \u00a0was committed on 14th\u00a0 June 2022 at \u00a0Kikuubo Shawurayako in Kampala City.<\/p>\n

It’s alleged that the 2 accused \u00a0without any unlawful excuse at an assembly addressed members of the public implying that it would be desirable for them to demonstrate, yet this act can result into violence and destruction of property .<\/p>\n

On the 25th May 2022,\u00a0 Besigye was granted a cash bail of 30 million shillings and went on remand to Luzira prison\u00a0 before the same was reduced to 3 million shillings by the Highcourt after a week.<\/p>\n

However the magistrate has informed the two that they are at liberty to appeal against his decison but must return to his court on the 1st July to check on the progress of police inquiries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
