What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

A Fort Portal Court presided over by Chief Magistrate Moses Nabende Mushebebe on Monday remanded three individuals to Katojo government prison over their alleged involvement in swindling money meant for the Parish Development Model (PDM) beneficiaries in Kabarole District

The trio, Godfrey Asiimwe, Fred Amanyire, and Robert Mugabe, were remanded until October 14, when they will return for further mention of their case; obtaining money by false pretence.

Chief Magistrate Mushebebe, made the ruling after the prosecution argued that granting bail could interfere with ongoing inquiries.

"This case is of public interest... PDM is a government program and inquiries are not yet complete," stated Robert Arinitwe, the state prosecutor.

However, their other co-accused Ms Esther Kobusinge, a town agent, was granted a cash bail of Shs1 million and her two sureties bonded at Shs3 million non-cash bail basing on various reasons. She's accused of obtaining Shs200,000 from Ms Elizabeth Kanyunyuzi after falsely claiming the payment was required to access PDM funds.
