The fate of former Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago’s bail application will be known on July 30, 2026, after court announced that the ruling will be delivered online.
The decision will be issued through the court’s digital system instead of a physical court session, a move that allows proceedings to continue electronically while attracting attention from political leaders, lawyers, and members of the public following the case.
Lukwago, a prominent opposition figure, is seeking bail as he faces charges related to alleged failure to report information connected to claims of treasonous activities. He has denied the allegations and his legal team has asked court to grant him freedom as he awaits further hearing of the case.
His lawyers have argued that Lukwago deserves bail, citing his constitutional rights and other personal considerations. They have maintained that he should be allowed to return home while the judicial process continues.
However, prosecutors have opposed his release, asking court to consider the seriousness of the charges and other factors before making a decision.
The case has attracted significant public attention, with supporters of Lukwago closely following developments and calling for fairness and respect for his legal rights.
The July 30 online ruling will determine whether Lukwago will be released on bail or continue staying in custody as the case proceeds. The decision is expected to be closely watched by political observers and the wider public.
