Prosecution states that Kisambira, 46, on May 12 2023, within Uganda, through a computer, shared on Judiciary transport WhatsApp group information to wit a recorded audio which was likely to promote hostility against judges in the Judiciary, in that judges’ salaries are unfairly over and above those of their drivers and that a driver can decided to cause road accidents by ramming into a moving truck thereby, killing the judges and their bodyguards.
Kasambira was on Monday produced in court only to be told he would spend more than 10 days in prison because the magistrate who was supposed to hear his case was not around.
