The Uganda Law Council has rescinded its earlier decision and issued a temporary practising certificate to Kenyan lawyer Martha Karua.
This allows her to represent Dr Kizza Besigye and Hajj Obeid Lutale before the General Court Martial tomorrow.
The Uganda Law Council held a special meeting today to grant Karua a temporary practising certificate.
Karua was appointed to lead the defense team of Dr Kizza Besigye, former president of Uganda’s Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), and his aide, Haji Obeid Lutale.
The two are facing charges before the General Court Martial for alleged subversion and unlawful possession of firearms.
