It’s not good news for former Kawempe South Division MP Mubarak Munyagwa who has been arrested by State House Anti Corruption Unit, arraigned in Court and remanded to Luzira prison alongside four others on charges of criminal trespass, malicious damage to property and conspiracy to commit a felony.
Munyagwa and five of his alleged accomplices appeared before Kajjansi Chief Magistrate, Doreen Karungi on Tuesday afternoon and denied the charges against them thus being remanded them until June 12 when they will be produced in court again.
According to State House Anti Corruption Unit, Munyagwa connived with one Isa Sekitoleko and falsified a sale agreement showing he had purchased a kibanja of 3 acres located in Mutungo cell, Kajjansi Town Council.
Munyagwa went ahead to grade the land destroying crops on the land, portioned it into plots yet the land is titled in the names of Dechomai Asset Trust Number Three LCC, a registered company.
Mubarak Munyagwa started his political career in 2006 when he contested as councilor in Kawempe south before winning the Mayor seat in 2011 to 2016.
Munyagwa was elected Member of Parliament for Kawempe South in 2016 after his popularity being one of the leaders of the ‘walk to work campaign’ in 2011. He lost the parliamentary seat in 2021 to Bashir Mbaziira Kazibwe.
