Court has dismissed an application for criminal summons against the Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Aronda Nyakairima.

Nakawa Chief Magistrate Joyce Kabagi has dismissed the application filed by Luweero Woman MP, Brenda Nabukenya on grounds that it was filed in a wrong court which has no jurisdiction to handle the matter.

The magistrate also said that the complainant did not secure a letter from the local authorities at Buziga, where Gen. Nyakairima resides.

In her application, Nabukenya had requested court to issue criminal summons against Nyakairima over alleged charges of treason.

Nyakairina allegedly said that the army would take over the government if leaders continued to practice bad politics.

The remarks made during a news conference at the ministry of Defense headquarters last month, drew outrage from a cross section of Ugandans including some members of the inner circle in the army.
