The High court in Kampala has ruled that Nakawa MP Michael Kabaziguruka is subject to military law and must stand trial on charges of treachery before the General Court Martial.
Justice Patricia Basaza Wasswa dismissed with no orders to costs, Kabaziguruka's application filed against Government, seeking to declare that his trial before the army court is a violation of his constitutional right to a fair hearing.
Justice Basaza noted that section 119 of the UPDF Act empowers the army court to try civilian suspects who aid and abet a person subject to military law in the commission of an offence.
The judge therefore advised that unless this section is repealed or declared to be unconstitutional by a competent court, it will remain valid, effective and enforceable regardless of the misgivings of human rights advocates about it.
Kabaziguruka has now been returned to jail at Kigo Goverent prison until 26/September for mention of his case before the Makindye Court Martial
