Drama in court as judge proceeds with Kivumbi bail hearing in absence of State prosecutors

The State has strongly opposed a bail application filed by the former Butambala County Member of Parliament, Mr. Muhammad Muwanga Kivumbi, and 24 co-accused individuals who are currently facing grave charges of terrorism.
The prosecution team arguments—delivered via a sworn affidavit—asserted that criminal investigations into the matter are still active, warning that the applicants are highly likely to interfere with state witnesses and jeopardise the judicial process if they are released back into the public.
