In December 2022, under pressure to bury the most stinging scandal of her career, #FakeDPP#Akokolan#Abodo claims that “investigations were still going on” when the Constitutional Court halted the Basajja case on 8 May 2013, as reported on #ULII. NOT TRUE.ulii.org/ug/judgment/su…
As early as 16 January 2013 @ODPPUGANDA informed the chief magistrate at the anti-corruption court that “INQUIRIES ARE COMPLETE” in the mega-fraud and grand corruption case against the Basajjabalaba brothers.
This was reiterated on 28 January 2013 when Muzamiru was presented.
Consequently the case was fixed for HEARING on 6 March 2013, and on that date the Basajjabalaba brothers were committed for trial in the High Court on 9 May 2013.
On 13 March 2013 @ODPPUGANDA filed an affidavit by the lead investigator opposing the move by the Basajjabalabas to have their bail restored by the High Court after it had been cancelled on being committed for trial. Reason: “INVESTIGATIONS HAVE BEEN CONCLUDED, PROSECUTION READY”
Guess what, this display of chest-thumping EXTREME TRIAL READINESS was directed by our #FakeDPP#Akokolan#Abodo who was the Boss Lady—signing off on every step taken by @ODPPUGANDA at the anti-corruption court. She was the one instructing other state mandarins in the whole saga.
EPILOGUE
The alleged last-minute investigation is a red herring. It has nothing to do with the Basajjabalaba case. On 15 December 2022, we called out #FakeDPP#Akokolan#Abodo for her shameless HYPOCRISY, MENDACITY and DIMWITTERY. Will she do the right thing? @ODPPUGANDA

Where is your anguish at this Tuesday's outcome of the 2nd bail application for the Katanga widow (inset)?
Why do magistrates & high court judges flout Superior Court orders exhorting them to be liberal💯 in granting bail when custody is not needed?🧵
Last month, I reached out to @KAAdvocates—defence lawyers for Ms Molly Katanga, 55—seeking permission to raise the alarm before their client's 2nd bail application suffered the same fate as the 1st one.
Upon further reflection, I decided to exercise self-restraint. Not anymore!
@UGIndependent quoted Judge Isaac Muwata thus: "The case is ready for hearing. I find that the application cannot be granted and is dismissed on grounds that the circumstances have not changed since the first bail application."
Family Division Cause 41/2023
Before Justice Keturah Katunguka
THE ISSUE—Whether to bury Justice Stella Arach-Amoko (RIP) in Nebbi or Adjumani?
#TeamNebbi—Adv Richard Adubango, Roger Mugabi, @PiusBusobozi & @SOkecho
#TeamAdjumani— @AFMpangaUG & @OrtusAdvocates
We are supposed to be starting in a few minutes, after a brief break granted to #TeamNebbi to complete an overnight filing assignment that happens to have spilled over.
Meanwhile before the break Adv @SPKinobe2018 of #TeamAdjumani informed court that “mediation had failed.”
We’ve established that in response to the “Arua middle ground” proposal, #TeamNebbi this morning offered the following “counterproposal” which was rejected by #TeamAdjumani.
At @mylegalbrain, we did more than put on an exhibit around Kampala’s gargantuan potholes & open sewers 3 years ago.
We SUED @KCCAUG & @GovUganda for this blatant violation of duty that has caused widespread devastation, including death and disability to hapless urban dwellers.
SIBLINGS shouldn’t let their tiffs & biffs spill over into the family business, if they’re lucky to have one.
Let me thread 🧵 you the tragic story of the Hanspal family that lost a fortune while fighting over the contract to construct @nssfug HQ, Workers’ House.
📸 @mudo_eve
The Hanspals used to be mega rich some forty years ago.
They had made their name, mostly in Dictator Daniel Arap Moi’s Kenya🇰🇪 , by delivering high-end construction assignments on time, for East Africa’s political & corporate elites of the day.
Davinder Hanspal became the face of that success.
He was the managing director of ALCON INTERNATIONAL LTD, a Kenyan superbrand in its heyday.
This guy was so good at his game that anyone who used the name ALCON could literally get away with murder anyway in East Africa.
CORRUPTION COUNTRY: BASAJJABALABA SAGA IN A NUTSHELL 🧵
Let’s start at the very beginning, with a preface by Capo di tutti capi—“HE”@KagutaMuseveni—in consultation with his consigliere @MoJCA_UG AG Peter Nyombi (RIP).
Mark the date of Capo’s letter: 6 OCTOBER 2011—it’s crucial.
After receiving in FY2010/11 a windfall of sh142b in a dubious compensation scheme arising from @GovUganda’s repossession of 4 markets & Constitution Square (which had been illegally tendered to the Basajjabalabas in the early 2000s), @URAuganda demanded at least sh20b in taxes.
The Basajjabalaba brothers Hassan & Muzamiru then conspired to evade the entire assessed tax by presenting (UTTERING) to @URAuganda & @OAG_Uganda a judicial document purporting that @KagutaMuseveni, @GovUganda, @MoJCA_UG etc had okayed their compensation packages to be tax-free.
