When sipapa and his wife Shamirah appeared before the Grade one Magistrate Esther Adikini,their lawyer Robert Rutaro from Elgon company and Advocates prayed to the court to grant bail to the accused mother Shamirah on grounds that she is breast feeding a baby of six months of which the baby needs to be taken care of since it is too young.
Rutaro adds that court should exercise its jurisdiction and grant the accused person a temporary bail to be able to get treatment because she was operated when giving birth; the scar is still fresh which needs serious and immediate treatment.
The state prosecutor in this case Hope Tukundane has objected the defense lawyer’s request on grounds that this court has no jurisdiction to grant bail to the accused person due to their offenses being capital in nature.
Meanwhile, Magistrate Esther Adikini has emphasized the state’s group and asked the defense lawyer to try their prayer in High Court and asked the accused mother to get her baby and take care of it in prison.
