High Court has granted former Security Minister Henry Tumukunde bailed.
Gen. Tumukunde presented earlier sureties that included former Minister Mathew Rukikaire, his wife, Stella Tumukunde, brother in-law Hannington Karuhanga and retired army Commander Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu.
Justice
Wilson Kwesiga had rejected same sureties stating that Gen. Tumukunde presents army generals at his rank and above with clearance from Chief of Defence Forces.
Kwesiga’s conditions were met with resistance from legal brains that argued it was wrong for stating that only serving generals well knowing Gen. Tumukunde had retired from the army into civilian life and that was the reason he was being tried in a civilian court.
Through his lawyers, Gen. Tumukunde filed an application asking High Court to soften the conditions set by Kwesiga in the bail application.
