Dr Besigye to Judge Baguma:
Possibly, you may have to try us in absentia, so that it hastens the process, we give up our right to defend ourselves, you write a judgement and we deal with the judgment.

For three days now, a massive queue of cargo trucks stretching nearly 35 kilometres into Kenya has brought business at the Malaba border to a standstill.

Truck drivers and clearing agents blame the congestion on Uganda Revenue Authority's newly reinstated metallic cargo sealing system, saying it has slowed cargo clearance, disrupted trade, and raised security concerns.
