In a dramatic court appearance, Dr. Kizza Besigye has informed Judge Baguma that despite the deportation of Martha Karua and the jailing of Erias Lukwago, they remain his primary lawyers. Besigye’s statement has raised eyebrows, given the circumstances surrounding the two lawyers. Martha Karua, a Kenyan lawyer, was deported from Uganda after being accused of practicing law without a license, while Erias Lukwago, a Ugandan lawyer, is currently serving a jail sentence. Besigye’s insistence on retaining the services of the two lawyers has sparked debate about the potential implications for his case. Many are questioning the wisdom of Besigye’s decision, given the challenges that his lawyers are facing. However, Besigye remains resolute, citing the importance of continuity and the need to maintain the trust and confidence that he has in his lawyers. As the case progresses, it will be interesting to see how the judge responds to Besigye’s request and how the situation unfolds.
