The State Minister for Ethics and Integrity, Father Simon Lokodo has threatened to open up more charges against Dr Stella Nyanzi for undressing in court and embarrassing mothers.
“The verdict came on her because of her behaviour and she should have accepted it and taken it because of her actions; now I am going to have a case against her,” he noted.
His comments came hours after Dr. Stella Nyanzi was sentenced to 18 months in prison on charges of cyber harassment in which she had been accused of insulting the president and his late mother Esteri Kokundeka on social media last year.
Dr Nyanzi appeared in the court via video conference and caused commotion by undressing, pouring water on the prison officers and breaking the video link.
Father Lokodo made the remarks while speaking to the media during the closure of a three week long training for CID officers at the CID headquarters in Kampala.
Father Simon Lokodo noted that Dr Nyanzi’s actions of undressing before the public has embarrassed the nation and such acts are unacceptable therefore, he intends to take legal actions against her.
“It is Very unacceptable and irresponsible and embarrassing for mother of more than two behaving like that,” he said.
Over 300 officers had camped at Kibuli for training in the new trend of corruption, emergency saver crime trends, money laundering, terrorism, human and drug trafficking.
Grace Akullo the director CID noted that the intensive training will help to guide and build the capacity of officers to fight corruption in community and the country at large.
“As you investigate a case, you don’t need to torture for example when you over detain as per the laws. Over detaining beyond 48 hours as you are handling corruption cases is a form of torture,” she noted
She said that some officers from the human right commission were invited to give the officers an overview of those acts and to guard against the abuse of human rights.
