Karamoja Affairs Minister Grants Cash Bail To Court
Minister of Karamoja Affairs and Woman MP Minister kitutu has granted a UGX 100 million cash bail to the Anti-corruption court.
The defense team argued that the Minister was not a flight risk and that he was willing to cooperate with the authorities.
In his ruling, the presiding judge talked about how the prosecution had failed to provide sufficient evidence to support their claims that the Minister was a flight risk or that he could interfere with the investigations.
He, therefore, granted the bail application and set the bail terms at UGX 100 million cash and UGX 200 million non-cash for the sureties.
Minister Kitutu’s supporters, who were present in court, cheered and applauded the ruling, while the prosecution team expressed disappointment with the decision.
This case has increased the interest of the public as many people are calling for transparency and accountability in the fight against corruption in the country.
