National water and Sewerage corporations has dragged Philip Murwani to the Civil Division of the High Court in Kampala over defamatory whats app posts linking its managing director to funding political activities.
According to an affidavit dated 15th March 2019 filed to the High Court Civil Division, National water and Sewerage corporations claims that in or around the month of February this year, Murwani posted a message on the whats app group Make Bushenyi greater Again (MBGA) dominantly constituted by people from Bushenyi region inviting members of the group for a function allegedly to launch a new party that he called a party for diversion or divisionism and abuse of National water resources.

It also claims that on the same date, Murwani further circulated malicious posts insinuating that NWSC and its managing director Eng. Dr. Silver Mugisha were funding political parties whereas at all times he was aware that entity and its managing director are not involved in any political activities.
Murwani is also accused of posting in the same whats app group indicating that the head of state needed to recruit another managing director as the entity had been infiltrated by the opposition loosely referred to as Kawukuumi.
Through its lawyers M/S MMark Advocates, the entity wants a permanent injunction restraining Mulwani from making any further posts demeaning the entity or any of its staff and pay costs of the suit.
Court is yet to Summon Murwani to file a defense over the said allegations.
