Ex-NDA Lawyer Leila Katusiime Faces Arrest For Defying Uganda’s IGG Orders

Leila Katusiime, a former lawyer at NDA, risks arrest after it came to the IGG’s attention, through whistle blower info, that her written directive was ignored and the NDA former board members organized a secretive ceremony at four points hotel in Kololo and defiantly swore themselves in.

The IGG got angry on realizing that even after several written reminders directing a halt, the NDA outgoing board members went ahead to have an illegal swearing in ceremony and inauguration on Monday at the Kololo hotel.

The IGG has been asked by a whistle blower to expand on the ongoing investigations to also cover allegations that it was Leila Katusiime who coordinated and got for outgoing board chairman Dr. Medard Bitekyerezo a junior but fearless judicial officer to conduct the secretive swearing in ceremony, which was conducted in a small room at four points by Sheraton hotel in Kampala. This was after judge Gladys Kamasanyu learnt of IGG directive halting the same and stayed away.

This contempt of lawful directives and orders is something over which Bitekyerezo could rot in prison cells because the IGG had already indicated in her two previous letters that going ahead to swear in, without first waiting for her clearance, would be a crime.

In the past, the IGG arrested and prosecuted Kyambogo University board members for criminally disobeying her directives. The NDA board members are headed to the same coolers like the Kyambogo bosses, should this alleged Katusiime-facilitated secretive swearing in event turn out to be true.
