The Wakiso Chief Magistrates Court has issued criminal summons against the National Unity Platform-NUP leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu requiring him to go and take plea on three offenses related to giving false information about his age.
The summons has been issued this afternoon by the Chief Magistrate Esther Lydia Nakadaama Mubiru following a private prosecution case instituted against Kyagulanyi by lawyer Male Mabirizi.
According to the summons, Kyagulanyi popularly known as Bobi Wine is required to appear in Wakiso Chief Magistrates Court on September 16th 2020 at 10am without fail.
Last month Mabirizi instituted three criminal charges of giving false information, obtaining registration by false pretense and uttering false documents against Kyagulanyi in that court where he alleges that on May 31st 2017 at 9:56am Kyagulanyi gave false information to the Wakiso District Returning Officer that he was 35 years old and was nominated as a candidate in the Kyadondo East parliamentary race well knowing that it was a lie.
Further he alleges that Kyagulanyi gave the same Officer academic documents indicating that he completed the Advanced Level of education, the minimum requirement for one to be nominated as a legislator which was not true.
Kyagulanyi is also faulted for having uttered a false document; that is a Uganda National Examinations Board letter of verification of results to the returning officer and accordingly obtained registration by false pretense.
