The Gasabo Intermediate Court has remanded Retired Capt.David Kabuye to 30 days in prison following an ongoing court case in which he is accused of illegally posessing a gun.Court ruled that Capt.(rtd) was a flight risk.
His lawyer said he would appeal the court decision.
Prosecutor Boniface Budengeri had on Monday requested the Court to remand Capt. (Rtd) Kabuye arguing that he is accused of committing a serious offence and would likely attempt to flee if he was granted bail.
Kabuye offered his wife, brother and sister as Guarantees and told court that he wouldnt flee the country.
However, court today argued that the sureties didnt have capacity to refrain him from fleeing the country.
Kabuye had earlier submitted to court in defence of owning a pistol saying, “I got it from DR Congo and by then, it was a custom to find a gun for yourself since we were at the battlefield. When I retired from the RDF, I returned all military equipment and properties but I remained with the pistol for my personal security and that of my family,” he said.
