One person has been sentenced to jail over a recently leaked video from Club Silk Liquid, showing footage of renowned city lawyer David Mpanga, a former advocate of city businessman Sudhir Ruparelia, meeting with Vision Group boss, Robert Kabushenga.
At the time of the Kabushenga-Mpanga meeting, The New Vision, a newspaper headed by the former had been extensively reporting on a case brought up against businessman Ruparelia by Bank of Uganda.
And as a result of the leaked video, one Charles Mugabi on Wednesday appeared before at Nakawa Magistrates Court and was charged under the computer misuse act over leaking the Club’s property to the public.
Mugabi pleaded guilty to the charge and Grade One Magistrate Christina Nantege sentenced him to three months in prison and a fine of Shs300, 000. His co-accused, Simon Kazooba denied the charge and was later released on bail.
The duo was arrested Monday and detained at Jinja Road Police Station after Club Silk Liquid management lodged a case against the two on learning that CCTV footage from their cameras had ended up in public hands.
lets take it that the one sentenced contravened the law as stressed above. But should we also believe that the lawyer did a right thing as alleged that he leaked critical information in the case against Sudhir. He is a learned friend but didn’t act professionally thats unethical Mr. Mpanga
