Security at Twed towers in Nakasero that also houses the Court of Appeal is beefed up to restrain NUP supporters from swarming court as former National Unity and Reconciliation party president Moses Kibalama appears to explain to the judge why he swore 2 contradicting affidavits regarding the sale and change of his party to 2021 Presidential aspirant Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine.

The National Unity and Reconciliation party has since changed its name to National Unity Party (NUP).

Kibalama who had been allegedly reported missing before security agencies came up to claim that he is under their protection has however portioned the blame to his first lawyer Anthony Wameeli and other lawyers from NUP who misled him into signing an affidavit whose contents he had not read.

Kibalama; a former Supretendant of police during presidents' Obote and Amin's regimes has appeared in court in response to summons issued to him last week by Highcourt judge Musa Ssekaana to throw more light on his 2 affidavits; one being in support of an application filed by the aggrieved founder members of NURP to the sale of their party to Kyagulanyi while in the other he accepts voluntarily to change the party's name he has been heading since 2004 to NUP.

While being asked by the Electoral Committee lawyer Eric Sabiiti why he had to make 2 contradicting pieces of evidence which also constitutes an offence of giving false information to a public body, Kibalama replied that he was compelled to make a U-turn on the change of his party name because he and some of the founder members of NURP were not given any slots in NUP which he says has now gained political fame.

It's at this moment that Kibalama says he was intrigued to seek legal advise and make consultations from another lawyer whom he has also wrongly identified in court as James Byamukama.

This has thrown court into giggles because Kibalala gave instructions to a lawyer known as Enoc Waninda whereas James Byabakama was instructed to represent other founder members.

A quick interpretation of Kibalama's evidence shows that the 59-year-old is still interested in the leadership of his party.
