Natukunda, Ngambwa’s wife was reportedly tasked to explain the whereabouts of her husband before being taken back home for a search. She alleges that the commission ignored her pleas to allow her pick her children from school during the time of the arrest.
The four were allegedly detained at Central Police Station save for Ampurire who was taken to Wandegeya police station where they each spent three days on charges of withholding information. They were granted police bond on March 14.
They now say that their arrest was illegal and are demanding a declaration that the commission acted out of its capacity and power when it caused their arrest and detention without trial. They are also seeking an order to be compensated for general and punitive damages. Â
According to documents before the Civil Division of the High court, the charges are filed against Justice Bamugemereire and nine others including the commissioners of the commission and their secretary, Dr Douglas Singiza. The respondents have been summoned to file their defence within fourteen days before the matter is allocated for hearing.   Â
