High Court in Kampala has ordered the trial of five people accused over the fraudulent transfer of land titles belonging to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) for land at Lubowa in Wakiso District.
This follows a successful appeal by the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.
On Monday, High Court Justice Rosette Comfort Kania overturned the ruling of the Magistrate Court at Makindye, which had freed the five, citing lack of evidence by prosecution to warrant their defence.
The five who had also been acquitted by Grade One Magistrate Elisha Arinaitwe include Mohammand Kityo Lubowa, Moses Bogere, Betty Namanya, Daphine Nakanwagi and Partick Onyango.
They face trial after the trial judge concurred with prosecution led by Adam Wasswa and Harriet Adong- that there was a prima facie case that all the five were responsible for fraudulently procuring the titles.
