Former Security Minister Henry Tumukunde was yesterday charged with treason by City Hall Court and remanded to Luzira Maximum Prison until March 23.
Gen. Tumukunde at City hall court was brought to court by a combined team of security personnel that had kept him beyond the 48 hours as mandated by the constitution. He appeared before grade one Magistrate Valerian Tumuhimbise.
“I have been produced at City Hall Magistrate’s Court this afternoon. Remain strong and stay focused” reads a message posted on his social media platforms.
Gen. Tumukunde was arrested last week on Thursday from his Kololo offices. He was eventually taken into custody by a combined team of security agencies as they searched his offices, residence and up-country home. Earlier Uganda Police Spokesperson, Fred Enanga had indicated that he would be charged with treason.
He becomes a third politicians to be charged with treason after former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party president Dr. Kizza Besigye and Kyadondo East Legislator Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine.
