March to Parliament: Four more anti-graft protesters granted bail

The Nakawa Chief Magistrate Court has today bailed four more youths accused of participating in last week’s anti-corruption March to Parliament protests.

Presiding Chief Magistrate Ritah Kidasa Neumbe released the group pending hearing of the case at a later date.

“I find the sureties substantial; the suspects have fulfilled the requirements for bail. I hereby release the accused persons on the following conditions, each of the suspect is to execute a cash bail of Shs200,000 while their sureties are bonded a non-cash bond of Shs500,000,” Neumbe held.

Those granted bail include 28-year-old NTV Uganda and KFM radio host Faiza Salima, Thomas Kanzira ,28, Bernard Olupot Ewalu,39, and 25-year-old Edgar Barlow Hamala.

Court declined to release 40-year-old Aljab Musinguzi on bail, reasoning that the introduction letter presented from the local council is different from his area of residence.
