Bobi Wine Cleared In A Case Against Illegal Admission To Makerere University

Court has cleared the case of illegal admission to Makerere University against Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. Lawyer Male Mabirizi filed a case against Bobi Wine who graduated from the university over 20 years ago with a Diploma in Music, Dance, and Drama-MDD.

He says Bobi Wine graduated fraudulently since he was not eligible for admission to the university.

Male alleged that Kyagulanyi who was then 20 years old registered as a student of MDD on a mature age entry scheme. This is contrary to Makerere University’s admissions policies.

However, they stated that for one to get admission for the mature age entry at the time, the candidate had to at least be 25 years old. Or one who had completed formal education at least five years before the year of admission to the university.

However, when DPP took over the prosecution of the case, he asked court to allow him withdraw the case. The trial magistrate Augustine Alule ruled that they give the DPP powers to prosecute criminal matters. The same also has a right to discontinue charges.

“The role of the court is only to consent in the event that the DPP wants to take over the private prosecution. Or discontinue proceedings from another person or authority,” Alule said

Meanwhile, Male Mabirizi said he is going to open a new case of the same.

“All the LDC court proceedings, rulings, and purported discharge by the DPP of Robert Kyagulanyi over academic fraud are at Makerere University are null and void for want of jurisdiction. We will file at Nabweru because Makerere is in Kawempe division and not Central division.”
