The Attorney General has filed more additional evidence to the High Court in Kampala strengthening his defence that the government and security agencies in the country have no knowledge regarding the whereabouts of 18 missing persons who are all supporters of the National Unity Platform political party.
The Attorney General on Wednesday brought two more affidavits before the Civil Division Judge Esta Nambayo to supplement the already submitted four other affidavits in the case filed against the government demanding for the accountability and subsequent release of the supporters.
The missing persons are:
John Bosco Kibalama, John Damulira, Shafik Wangolo, Martin Lukwago, Michael Semudu, Musisi Mbowa, Vincent Nalumoso, Dennis Zimbula, Muhammad Kanatta, George Katumba, Moses Mbabazi, Yuda Ssempijja, Alphat Mugumya, Peter Kitya, Mustapha Muwemba, Hassan Mubiru, Isma Ssesaazi, and Godfrey Kisembo.
Government continues to investigate the alleged missing persons as required under the law according to their additional evidence . But the Attorney General says the case is devoid of merit and the government cannot be compelled to account for people who are not in their custody.
In their previous evidence, the Attorney General said that the missing persons were fictitious , non existent and that investigations were still ongoing.
