The Anti-Corruption Division of the High Court has granted bail to the State Minister for Karamoja Affairs, Agnes Nandutu.

The trial Judge Jane Okuo Kajuga granted Nandutu who is also the Bududa District Woman MP a cash bail of Shs10 million while her sureties were bonded of Shs50 million each.

Other bail terms included; depositing two land titles registered in her name to the court, and her passport meaning she cannot travel outside without the court's permission while one of her sureties Nandala Mafabi was also told to deposit his land title suited at Namugongo.

The judge noted that Nandutu satisfied the court that she suffers from a medical complication that requires a rapid emergency response.

She further explained that the evidence by police that the Minister had evaded them is hearsay and that court cannot rely on it yet she voluntarily surrendered herself to police.

Minister Nandutu is among the three ministers who have so far been arraigned before courts of law in connection with the alleged diversion of iron sheets meant for vulnerable people in the Karamoja sub-region.
