Minister Kitutu denied bail, further remanded.

12th April 2023 News Editor 0 Comments

Karamoja Affairs Minister, Dr. Mary Goretti Kitutu has been denied bail by the Anti-Corruption Court over lack of substantial sureties.

Kitutu’s lawyers led by Micheal Wamasebu, a former deputy Director of Public Prosecution (DPP); John Musiime, and Jude Byamukama, last week listed ill health, advanced age of 61, having a permanent residence in Bunga within the jurisdiction of court and handed to court two land titles, each measuring half an acre, in Wakiso District as grounds for her release on bail.

The presiding magistrate, Marion Aciro, however, stood over the matter to today, citing insufficient time to review the lengthy bail arguments made by both her lawyers and the State.

The case has been adjourned to Friday (April 14), when the said sureties are expected to present their credentials in order for court to determine whether to grant the minister bail or not.
