Court has remanded State Minister for Karamoja Affairs Hon. Agnes Nandutu to Luzira prison till May 3, 2023 when she’s expected to appear before court for mention of her case.
This follows her arrest on Tuesday April 18th 2023 over diversion of iron sheets meant to be relief items for the people of the restive Karamoja sub region.
The Minister was today brought to the anti-corruption court as she wore a jolly mood speaking and waving to scribes of journalists.
Minister Nandutu was on Wednesday charged with dealing with suspect property contrary to section 21A (1) of the Anti-Corruption Act, 2009 (As Amended) before she was committed to High Court for trial.
Nanduttu describes the trial as a witch hunt and contends her committal to High Court.
The Anti- Corruption Court grade one magistrate Esther Asiimwe said she cannot hear the Bududa Woman MP’s bail application following her committal.
This was after the State attorney; Mr David Bisamuyu, told court that inquiries into the case were complete.

“I have instructions from the DPP to have the suspect committed to the High Court for trial. The committal papers are before you my lord,” he said before an indictment was read and the minister committed.
This means Minister Nanduttu can only apply for bail in the High Court if she so wishes.
