Makindye Chief Magistrates Court yesterday issued criminal summons against Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago and the former FDC leader, Dr Kizza Besigye, together with Dr Besigye's driver Fred Kato for skipping a court hearing without any explanation.
The criminal summons were prompted by State prosecutor Charlotte Kwikiriza after the duo failed to show up in the courtroom and yet none of their lawyers was available to represent them.
The three face charges of disobeying lawful orders issued to them by Kampala South regional police commander Siraje Bakaleke not to hold a meeting at Nsambya Youth Sharing Hall to discuss electoral reforms on May 14.
"A1 (Lukwago), A2 (Dr Besigye) and A3 (Kato) are absent in court and we are praying for criminal summons against them," Ms Kwkiriza asked Grade One Magistrate Marion Okello.
They are expected in court on August 10 at 10am and should they fail to show up, police will be directed to arrest them and arraign them in court. Read more
