KAMPALA. The trial of former Buyende District Police Commander, Muhammad Kirumira, has been postponed to Thursday after one police court member was reportedly absent.
Mr Kirumira was expected to be in police court today for further hearing of the charges of extortion, unlawful exercise of authority and corruption.
Police court chairman, Denis Odongpiny, said Mr Kirumira’s case was rescheduled for Thursday since one court member was engaged in other duties.
“We shall not sit today because our member is engaged in meetings. We have decided to hear his case on Thursday when all members will be around. He is still detained at Nalufenya,” Mr Odongpiny said.
