You will know one who deserve your respect,even without forcing it.

The interesting part is—even amidst differences in opinion.

[AIDEN OFFICAL @Wassajja_Aiden]

Respect will only be given to those who respect themselves like Gen Salim Saleh, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. You will not force anyone to respect a General simply because he went to the bush!

@LuckyMbabazi Disloyalty to your country, in a very simple language.

Why should any activity make sense now.

The Mpigi High Court has reaffirmed its commitment to expeditious and effective disposal of criminal cases following a pre-session meeting held on Tuesday ahead of the upcoming criminal session scheduled to commence on June 29, 2026.

The meeting brought together key justice sector actors, including representatives from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP), defence counsel, court assessors, the Probation and Social Welfare Office, the Uganda Prisons Service, and Judiciary staff.

Presiding over the meeting, the Head of Circuit, Justice Anthony Oyuko Ojok, emphasized the importance of timely case preparation and seamless coordination among stakeholders to ensure a productive criminal session.

Justice Oyuko urged prosecutors to secure the attendance of witnesses well in advance and advised that where witnesses cannot be traced, applications for nolle prosequi should be made promptly to avoid unnecessary adjournments and delays.

The Resident Judge, Lady Justice Deepa Verma, underscored the need for proper hearing management and encouraged parties to utilize Section 67 of the Trial on Indictments Act by entering into memoranda on uncontested matters. She noted that resolving undisputed issues before trial would narrow the scope of litigation, save judicial time, and contribute to the efficient administration of justice.

Representatives from the ODPP informed the meeting that they were fully prepared for the session, having retrieved the relevant case files. They further disclosed that efforts were underway to identify matters that were no longer triable and submit them for appropriate action. The prosecution also reported that the disclosure process was ongoing to ensure compliance with fair trial standards.

To enhance protection for vulnerable victims and witnesses, stakeholders agreed that pseudonyms would be used where necessary to safeguard identities during court proceedings.

The Deputy Registrar, HW Goretti Arinaitwe, informed participants that the court was fully prepared for the session. She shared that the cause lists for both judges are dominated by serious offences, comprising approximately 65 cases of Aggravated Defilement, 14 Murder cases, seven Aggravated Robberies, six Rape cases, one case of Aggravated Homosexuality, and other capital offences.

The meeting was moderated by the Deputy Registrar

[David Lewis Rubongoya @DavidLRubongoya]

We've just been informed of the abduction of @NinyeTabz from Kamwokya a short while ago. He has been whisked away in a drone. The lawlessness continues!

@Esau_Matsiko The reverse, is also true.

[Faruku M. Luvuma @FML256]

@rwenzori_ Indeed nothing changed. By his attempt to justify Muhoozi's actions in whatever metric— speaks loud. Mr. Lumumba, you're forgiven, not withstanding you're reasons.

[Faruku M. Luvuma @FML256]

Many regimes have been outlived by time, this one will also follow suit.

Your wit, senior colleague is not in vain, we hold it jealously.

[TOKO @GodwinTOKO]

Abductions are NOT arrests. In case you find yourself second-guessing, here is a simple guide.

What happened to Lukwago was an ABDUCTION. Remember that just like it did to Benedicto Kiwanuka & Frank Kalimuzo in 1972, the state CAN ABDUCT its own citizens, in the same way the state can engage in extrajudicial killings.

It's distasteful, what has happened, but you're also curating us on what should be the way, we shall learn, we shall keep keep fighting for you senior colleague— Erias Lukwago.

[Kenneth Muhangi @xcenneth]

Senior Counsel Elias Lukwago, we your fellow Advocates stand with you. There’s no humor whatsoever in the images we have seen online and we hope those who have arrested you will respect your dignity and right to practice law in this Country that belongs to us all.

[Faruku M. Luvuma @FML256]

It's called Sanctimoniousness.

So Mob Justice is completely illegal, so abduction is what....???

[Muhoozi Kainerugaba @mkainerugaba]

Mob justice is completely ILLEGAL!

[David Soita Masinde. @davimasinde]

We are wondering why Lukwago has been abducted. Look again closely. With the Besigye treason trial facing systemic hurdles over witness disclosure, the state urgently requires an alternative narrative anchor. Targeting Lukwago's home addresses this vulnerability perfectly. By positioning the lead defense lawyer as a repository of "incriminating evidence," the prosecution can introduce a fresh angle to justify prolonged detention and introduce a completely new set of charges. Stop watching the gates of Wakaligga and start watching how the state uses this raid to legally shift the goalposts of Besigye’s trial.

@TumukundeTT Wowww. This is waaay below the belt. So exactly what wrong is done to attract mercy and forgiveness. We can't be reduced to this. Let him kidnapp the whole Uganda, since he is the instrument of power, but not in exchange with the ideals of the Constitution.

[Atukunda Isaac @Atukundaisaac1]

On the 27th day of September 2010, The UN Humans Rights Council under Resolution A/HRC/15/L.16 called upon States to protect judges, lawyers, prosecutors and their families against violence, threats, retaliation, discrimination, interference and harassment as a result of discharging their functions!

Therefore the state of Uganda is expected to respect the UN Resolutions and protect the rights of Lawyers.

This is to call upon the State of Uganda to release Hon. Counsel @EriasLukwago_ incase his arrest is as a result of discharging his Proffessional legal functions to Dr Kiiza Besigye & Ors.

@JimmyKBaluku It's not uncommon, that the best under-estimate their efforts, its just the trait. Keep that mentality, & the sky is the limit.
