The Director of Public Prosecutions [DPP] has also been allowed to take over the case from private prosecutors of Male Mabirizi and his colleague Roger Rutaro.
Lawyer Male Mabirizi and Roger Rutaro had earlier this week filed a case at the court challenging the decision by [DPP] to take over the criminal case against Bugingo at the Entebbe Magistrate's court saying he is unserious and only wants to kill the case.
