President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, has officially renewed the contract of Brigadier Freeman Robert Mugabe as Chairperson of the General Court Martial.
Brigadier Mugabe’s contract, which expired on June 9th, was renewed last Thursday, according to a letter dated June 6th, 2024.
The renewal comes after a period of inactivity at the Court Martial, as the court could not operate without the renewed contracts.
Brigadier Mugabe, who first assumed the role in 2022, succeeded Lieutenant General Andrew Gutti, who served six consecutive terms.
The new term includes the renewal of contracts for 19 other court members, encompassing panel members, defense counsel, prosecutors, and reserve forces. The members are Col Joseph Ecelare Okalebo, Lt Col Sam Ntungura Ntungura, Lt Col David Baguma, Col John Mark Ssemanda, Maj Cyprian Sande Magezi, Oyar Boris Mark, Pte Kanyoma Habiba and Capt Abdu Basajabaraba. Among others. END.
