The state has asked the army court to find guilty and consequently convict the jailed Boda -boda 2010 chairman Hajji Abdullah Kitata and his co accused.
These are charged with unlawful possession of firearms , ammunition and Military gear.
While making their final submissions before the General court martial sitting in Makindye which is chaired by Lt.Gen.Andrew Gutti, Raphael Mugisha the state prosecutor informed court that they had adduced sufficient evidence to prove the charges against Kitata and his co accused.
On the 8th of this month, Kitata's defense team closed their case and asked court to acquit him.
These led by Shaban sanya told the army court that their client is innocent and should be freed on all charges on grounds that prosecution failed to adduce sufficient evidence to prove the alleged charges including the required ingredients in the said charges.
According to Kitata's defense team, the state did not produce any concrete evidence to link Kitata to the recovered golden pistol and an SMG riffle which were allegedly found on him at the time of his arrest in a Hotel room at Vine Tea hotel in Wakaliga a Kampala suburb.
The lawyers stated that prosecution through out the trial, did not provide any evidence from an independent witness out of the four witnesses including any staff of Vine Tea Hotel , footage from a surveillance camera, a ballistic report or an Investigating officer who would have proved beyond reasonable doubt that Kitata was indeed in possession of the guns in the said hotel.
During the trial two out of the four state witnesses including the arresting officer claimed that they had arrested Kitata and also recovered the said items on kitata from his hotel room.
According to Sanywa, his client's prosecution is cosmetic and one intended at pleasing the public since parliament had already singled out Kitata as one of the alleged untouchable
