The court has announced new dates for several high-profile cases, as investigations by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) continue. The bail hearing for Dr. Lina Zedriga has been pushed to February 24, 2026, giving authorities more time to review the case. Meanwhile, the case involving outgoing Butambala County MP and NUP deputy president for Buganda, Muhammad Muwanga Kivumbi, was adjourned to March 10, 2026, after the DPP requested additional time to complete ongoing investigations.
Other political figures are also affected by the extensions. Comrade Akiso Benjamin has been remanded in prison until March 11, 2026, while John Mary Ssebuwuufu will remain in custody until March 3, 2026. The court’s decisions reflect the prosecution’s insistence on thorough investigations before moving forward with any bail or trial proceedings.
Supporters and members of the public have shown keen interest in these cases, which involve well-known political leaders and activists. The delays have sparked mixed reactions, with some expressing frustration over the continued remands, while others emphasize the need for a complete and fair legal process.
As the new court dates approach, all eyes will be on the progress of the investigations and how the legal proceedings unfold. For now, Dr. Lina Zedriga, Muhammad Muwanga Kivumbi, and their co-accused remain under the watch of the authorities, waiting for the next steps in their respective cases.
