SK Mbuga tells that he was asked if he was cognizant of some offenses related to him in Sweden and was furnished with details.

"I was given 15 days and I was supposed to be granted bail. But my first lawyer didn't prepare the paperwork the way I wanted it. So, I said didn't want bail anymore and I wanted to conclude this case by requesting for proof and file of the offense. They requested for about four times without any response. On the last time, they were told that I didn't have any case to answer in Sweden," he says.

"I set up a team in Uganda to do some investigation and we realized that some Ugandan mafias framed me and planned all this. They tarnished my name and put it in all government entities where I would get help from. They fogged stories from Facebook and got some stories from a Swedish newspaper that published my wife's story," Mbuga adds

On Tuesday, SK Mbuga's fellow rich friend, Jack Pemba, revealed that he was going to be granted bail in the next ten days.
