Uganda grants Karua temporary practicing certificate to represent Kizza Besigye
Uganda Law Council grants Martha Karua practising certificate to represent Kizza Besigye at the General Court Martial
Uganda Law Council grants Martha Karua practising certificate to represent Kizza Besigye at the General Court Martial.
The Uganda Law Council has granted NARC-Kenya leader Martha Karua a temporary practicing certificate.
In a statement on Monday, January 6, the council disclosed that Karua was granted the certificate after she replied through the Uganda Law Society.
“The Law Council has granted a temporary practicing certificate to Martha Karua following her reapplication through the Uganda Law Society as directed by our president Isaac Ssemakadde,” the council stated.
Uganda Law Society President Isaac Ssemakadde stated that Karua will represent Uganda’s opposition leader Kizza Besigye in court on Tuesday following the move.
“Martha Karua will represent Kizza Besigye & Hajji Obeid Lutale at the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) General Court Martial tomorrow. Case closed, reprisals avoided. Thank you,” Ssemakadde remarked.

The decision comes after the council previously rejected an application by Karua for a temporary practicing certificate in order to represent Besigye in court.
The NARC-Kenya leader then accused the Uganda Law Council of making unfounded attacks on her integrity and professionalism.
“Your disparaging and personalized aspersions on my person and character, as well as the importation of extraneous matters, is regrettable and undermines the spirit of Jumuia,” Karua asserted on December 9, 2024.
Besigye was arrested in Kenya in November 2024 and charged in a military court in Uganda for allegedly being in possession of a firearm in Kenya.
