You have been presented in court to enable you understand the crime you committed, not asking whether you committed it. This court has no jurisdiction to entertain your plea of bail. You will be forwarded to the court with jurisdiction,\u201d Mr Kibuuka ruled.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Sharon Sarah Nambuya, the State Attorney, then requested Mr Kibuuka to adjourn the proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Kibuuka asked the State prosecutor to speed up the investigation process such that the case is taken to court with jurisdiction. He, however, noted that the case file is still open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe shall come back here at Nabweru court on June 20, for case mention,\u201d he guided.<\/p>\n<p>Counsel Luyimbaazi Nalukoola, Shamim Malende and Zakariya Ssuuna had applied for bail.<\/p>\n<p>In her response, Ms Malende, who is also the Kampala Women MP and another lawyer Umar Magala complained that their clients needed bail to seek medication.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe suspects were charged with an offense which is bailable by this court,\u201d Ms Malende said, adding: \u201cThe suspects are not in good condition and majority of them are victims of abductions and torture.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
