Sulaiman Sserwadda Kidandala has withdrawn the election petition appeal against jailed Kawempe North MP Muhammad Ssegirinya.

In a letter filed at the Court of Appeal registry dated February 17, 2022, Kidandala states that he has lost interest in the prosecution of the matter because of the continued incarceration of Ssegirinya.

According to Kidandala, pursuing the appeal against Ssegirinya portrays him as part of the state.

Through his lawyers of Alaka and Company advocates, Kidandala contends that the continued incarceration of Ssegirinya has greatly compromised his values for progressive change in the country.

“We are therefore instructed to pray that the appeal be withdrawn,” the letter reads.

Ssegirinya is indicted with several counts of murder from the greater Masaka region relating to the bijambiya attacks on number of civilians shortly after the January 14, 2021, presidential elections.

During these attacks, over 30 people were murdered in the attacks and the motive of the murders is yet to be known although the police claim that were politically motivated.

Ssegirinya is battling the charges together with Makindye West MP Allan Ssewanyana and four others. They are currently on remand pending trial.
