KAMPALA - National Unity Platform deputy spokesperson and Nakawa East Member of Parliament aspirant Alex Waiswa Mufumbiro has been further remanded to Luzira Prison.
Last month, Mufumbiro was slapped with fresh charges of inciting the public to murder security personnel.
He appeared before Grade One magistrate Frank Namanya and denied the count of incitement to commit an offence.
On Thursday, November 6, 2025, when the case came up for mention and bail application hearing, State Attorney Odong Mahatma informed court that investigations are still ongoing and asked the court to adjourn the case for mention.
However, Mufumbiro’s lawyers, led by Samuel Muyizzi, told the court that he has instructions to apply for bail.
He presented three sureties: His father, Moses Baligeya, his wife Edith Katende and Nakawa West Member of Parliament Ronald Balimwezo.
State Attorney Odong asked the court for more time to scrutinise the documents which were submitted by sureties.
This prompted Magistrate Namaya to adjourn the case to November 13, 2025, for the state to reply to the bail application.
On October 22, 2025, Mufumbiro, who was ordinarily supposed to appear for his nomination, was instead taken to Nakawa Chief magistrates’ court to plead to the new charges.
It is alleged that on September 4, 2025, within Kampala city, incited NUP supporters to commit an offence against Ugandan security personnel, to wit murder.
Mufumbiro was duly nominated to contest for the Nakawa East MP seat while in prison.
