Nakawa Municipality lawmaker Michael Kabaziguruka has described those ordering for his arrest as “idiots.”
On Wednesday morning Makindye General Court martial issued a warrant of arrest for the FDC legislator skipping court.
Reminded that he failed to fulfil his bail conditions, a visibly raged Kabaziguruka told TrumpetNews, “Those are idiots, yes they are idiots.”
He further questioned, “What bail conditions? Anyway if they want to arrest me I am ready.”
Kabaziguruka added that, “If they think they are powerful let them come find me where I am and arrest me.”
Kabaziguruka is said to have missed court on two occasions for mention of the case where he is accused of Treachery alongside others including UPDF officers.
The Court Martial Registrar Major John Bizimana told court today that on Friday last week, he called Hon Kabaziguruka informing him about this week’s sitting, but that the MP told him that he was advised by his lawyers not to return to this court until the matter before constitutional court where he challenges the army court’s powers to try civilians, is disposed of.
The Registrar was thus ordered by the court to write to the Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga about the Arrest Warrant for Hon Kabaziguruka.
In November last year, MP Kabaziguruka through his lawyers of Lukwago and Co. Advocates petitioned the Constitutional Court seeking a declaration that the General court martial and other military courts are unconstitutionally established.
UPDF spokesman Brig Richard Karemire when contacted said that its true Court Martial has ordered for Kabaziguruka’s arrest.
“It is true court has issued a warrant of arrest for the MP because he failed to fulfill bail conditions,” he said.
Prosecution at Makindye General Court martial alleges that between February and June this year, Kabaziguruka and 26 others including UPDF soldiers plotted in Kampala, Wakiso and Luweero districts, to overthrow the government by force of arms.
