Jinja High Court has Monday afternoon convicted NBSTV political journalist Simon Muyanga Lutaya for failure to pay shs 153 million to Kenneth Lubogo as damages and costs.
Muyanga has been sent to Kirinya Prison in Jinja District.
Early January Jinja High Court had issued an arrest warrant to Muyanga a former aspirant for Bulamongi Constituency Member of Parliament on FDC ticket over failure to pay a fine of Shs153 million.
Muyanga filed a petition in 2016 after losing election contesting the ruling National Resistance Movement party (NRM)’s Kenneth Lubogo’s victory but he lost both cases at Jinja High Court and Court of Appeal.
High Court deputy registrar, Mr Jesse Byaruhanga issued the arrest warrant after Muyanga allegedly failed to honour court summons which was he described as a contempt of court.
