Police moves to seize MP Nambooze’s phone, laptop as her health deteriorates
Mukono
Municipality Member of Parliament, Betty Nambooze who is still in police
custody following her arrest on June 14, 2018 has, through her lawyers, Lukwago
and Co. Advocates, filed a formal to the Director Public Prosecutions (DPP),
Mike Chibita to halt her investigation to allow her time to travel to India for
a spine surgery as her health deteriorates. Nambooze
was battling charges of Offensive Communication after she took to social media
to write what the Police calls an “unpalatable” posting about fallen colleague,
Arua Member of Parliament, Ibrahim Abiriga who together with his bodyguard,
Saidi Kongo, were shot dead by unknown assailants.
In their notice, Lukwago
pleads that the investigation into Nambooze’s alleged involvement can continue
soon after she receives adequate treatment since Kiruddu Hospital where she is
currently being held lacks medical facilities to meet her health challenges.
“Prior to her arrest, the
client (Betty Nambooze) was scheduled to travel to India for a medical review
and specialised treatment upon recommendation by the physician in the same
facility who operated her spinal cord a couple of months ago following her
brutal arrest and torture at Parliament during the infamous constitutional
amendment debate,” the statement read in part.
Police to seizer her laptop,
phone
As that is going on, the
police have moved to court seeking a court order to confiscate the legislators’
smartphone and laptop where they hope to find evidence linked to Abiriga’s
murder and the postings she made soon after.
