“I have instructions from the DPP to have the suspect committed to the High Court for trial. The committal papers are before you my lord,” he said before an indictment was read and the minister committed.
This means Ms Nanduttu can only apply for bail in the High Court if she so wishes. 
As a result, she was remanded to Luzira Prison until May 3, 2023 when she’s expected to appear before court for mention of her case
