The treason case that was slapped against former four-time Ugandan presidential candidate, Kizza Besigye, for allegedly swearing-in himself as president following the disputed 2016 polls has been withdrawn, Daily Monitor has learnt.
The withdrawal happened in December 2019 during Justice Mike Chibita’s reign as the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), though it is not clear if Dr Besigye was informed of the development.
