Do you think the anti-corruption court did the right thing to free Mike Mukula?
BACKGROUND:
The Anti- Corruption Court has acquitted Soroti Municipality apt. Mike Mukula in a sh210m embezzlement case.
Justice
David Wangutusi ruled Wednesday morning that Mukula is innocent, adding
that the lower court ignored vital evidence in the case.
Before his acquittal, Mukula filed an appeal challenging his conviction and a four-year sentence.
A
team of defense lawyers led by David Mpanga argued that ministers are
political appointees and it was wrong for the magistrate to convict
their client of embezzlement.
The
lawyers argued that for charges of embezzlement to stand a person must
be an employee of government, servant, or public officer, which Mukula
was not.
