Former intelligence officer and political commentator Charles Rwomushana has weighed in on Dr. Kizza Besigye’s ongoing court case, saying the opposition leader and the government are locked in a serious political and legal standoff.Rwomushana made the remarks following Besigye’s collapse during court proceedings and his admission to the Intensive Care Unit at Mulago National Referral Hospital.
He claimed Besigye does not want the trial to continue under the current circumstances, while President Yoweri Museveni’s government has the authority and determination to see the case proceed.“You don’t want to be tried and you are playing all those tactics, but the other one is Museveni.
He has all the powers and wants you to be tried at all costs,” Rwomushana said.Besigye’s health and court battle have attracted nationwide attention after he challenged the continuation of proceedings, arguing that he should be represented by lawyers of his choice.His family and supporters have raised concerns over his condition, while authorities have maintained that he should face the legal process like any other citizen.The remarks by Rwomushana have added to the ongoing debate over how the case should proceed as Besigye remains under medical care.(For adverts, inquiries news, send us a message on +211929244599)
