Former UBC managing Director Paul Kihika is today expected to appear before Nakawa magistrate court for his second bail application.
Last week grade one Magistrate Christine Nantege remanded him back to Luzira prison despite being granted bail by anti corruption court because the magistrate court charged him with giving false information to police.
He pleaded not guilty to one count of giving false information and was denied bail because he did not have substantial sureties
Prosecution States that Kihika allegedly reported a case of theft of his mobile phone at Jinja road police station while falsely accusing the head of media crimes in police Emmanuel Mbonimpa to have stolen it; yet later it was revealed that the officer had just confiscated this phone for purposes of investigations.
Kihika is currently being tried by the anti corruption court for embezzlement and causing a 33.6 million shillings loss to UBC in facilitating a non-existent official trip to China.
