The trial of Kyadondo East MP Kyagulanyi SSentamu aka Bobi Wine over leading a social media tax protest last year is underway at Buganda Road Magistrate’s court. The key issue now is Bobi Wine’s bail application. Prosecution and defence have both presented, and Bobi Wine has also said something. What we’re left with is the magistrate delivering her ruling on the MP’s bail application. Below are the words Bobi has said to the court via the video-conferencing app that has him follow and communicate with court straight from Luzira prison.
“I thank you for this opportunity to address court. It is not we on trial but the court. Whatever you decide isn’t my business. My business is the truth, what is morally right…
If standing for what is right is going to keep me in this prison, so be it. After all I have a lot of work to do, even here in prison”
