Lawyers of former Inspector General of Police, Kale Kayihura have reportedly been denied access to meet their client at the Makindye Military Barracks where he is detained.
The lawyers Caleb Alaka and Evans Ochieng say they have attempted to approach him for about three days but are only rebounded at the gate of Makindye Military Barracks since Friday.
Alaka says they went back on Saturday to the Barracks but were told that visitors are not allowed on weekends. The lawyer now accuses the military forces for denying them access to their client.
Alaka and his counterpart Ochieng note that Kayihura together with other police officers have been held incommunicado and no one has been allowed access to them which violates their constitutional rights because no one should be detained for more than 48 hours.
The lawyers resolved that on Monday they will petition High Court Civil Division so that Kayihura together with Col Atwooki Ndahura, former director of Crime Intelligence may be produced in court if at all they have any cases to answer.
Kayihura was on June 13th airlifted from his farm in Kashagama, Lyantonde district and he is currently held at Makindye Barracks according to the statement by Brigadier Richard Karemire.
