Karamoja Affairs Minister, Dr Mary Goretti Kitutu has Friday been granted bail by the Anti-Corruption Court.
The beleaguered Minister was Wednesday sent back to Luzira as Court ruled that she lacked substantial sureties. One of the sureties was her husband.
Kitutu is accused of stealing and diverting iron sheets meant for vulnerable people of Karamoja.

Minister Kitutu faces two counts of loss of public property and one count of conspiracy to defraud according to the charge sheet that was presented before court last week.
She is jointly charged with her younger brother Michael Naboya Kitutu and Mr Joshua Abaho, the senior assistant secretary in the Ministry of Karamoja Affairs in the Office of the Prime Minister.
