The mother of jailed Kawempe North Legislator Muhammad Ssegirinya, Justine Ssanyu Nakajumba yesterday met and appealed to Justice and Constitutional Affairs Minister, Norbert Mao to look into the matters of her son and grant him freedom.
According to Minister Mao, a meeting took place with Nakajumba at his office and he made assurances to her.
Mao has revealed that he was already under pressure to resolve legal and social scenarios whose occurrences were never his decision, highlighting the Kawempe north legislator Muhamad Ssegirinya and Makindye East’s Allan Sewanyana.
He however promised a fair and expeditious hearing
On Monday, Nakajumba attempted to ambush Mao at his office but was blocked at the entrance despite the Minister being in Entebbe where he was attending a cabinet meeting.
She was accompanied by Ssegirinya’s wife, Twahirah Akandind.
It has been a year and a half since the legislator was arrested alongside his colleague Allan Ssewanyana of Makindye.
The two are accused of abetting crime by aiding panga-wielding thugs that terrorized residents of Masaka last year. END.
