Masaka Chief Magistrate’s Court charged the Kawempe North MP Muhammed Ssegirinya and Makindye West legislator Allan Ssewanyana with murder and attempted murder right before remanding them to Kitalya prison for a week.
The two MPs are accused of having a hand in the recent spate of killings in Masaka sub-region that left close to 30 people dead.
They were charged with four counts, three of murder and one of attempted murder.
Prosecution led by Richard Birivumbuka contends that the group had planning meetings at Happy Boys, Kalenda, and Kayanja Rest House in Kampala where they planned the murders.
They join the 10 men that were charged with the same offences on September 1, and remanded to Masaka Ssaza Prison.
They included; Christopher Sserwadda, 23, a resident of Nyendo-Mukungwe, Mike Sserwadda and Jude Muwonge, both residents of Ssetaala, and Batesta Mutabaazi, Joseph Kayabula, Ashraf Kayinza, Issa Ssebunnya, Moses Kaganda, and Kaboyo Henry, all residents of Byanjiri Village in Lwengo District.
The other was Paul Ssekajugo, alias, Mawanda, 43, a resident of Nakateete, Kisekka Sub-county in Lwengo District.
