Kampala Metropolitan deputy Police spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire said they later sent the controversial lawyer to Kitalya prison as the warrant of his arrest indicated.
According to Luke Owoyesigyire, Mabirizi reached Kitalya safely. Frank Baine, the prisons chairperson confirmed this as well. Justice Musa Ssekaana sentenced Mabirizi to 18 months in jail after the court found him guilty of contempt of court.
Before this, they had charged him to pay Ugshs 300M for the same. They warned him to stop disrespecting Judges but he just went on with it leading to his arrest.
Unfortunately, even when Justice Musa summoned him to court to defend himself, he didn’t show up. This just added more salt to the wound.
“Mabirizi never presented himself to court after being summoned. Neither did he file affidavits to deny the allegations against him. Court has been left with no option but to order for his arrest on sight and be taken to prison for 18 months,” Ssekaana ruled.
This means he has to be in prison for 18 months unless otherwise.
Mabirizi is popular mostly for picking up weird cases. He has almost sued every politician and government agency there is on some of the most laughable cases.
However, most of these he does on his own and on a pro-bono basis. He has also lost if not all of them, at least 90 percent.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
