THE Kisutu Resident’s Magistrate Court yesterday found TBC journalist JERRY MURO to have a case to answer in a case of corruption after the prosecution side closed its case.
The case was adjourned to March 29 this year when the accused would begin submission of defence on charges against him.
Resident Magistrate, Gabriel Mirumbe, said, “I consider all the evidence in court were reliable therefore the accused has to provide answers to the court,” he said.
The ruling came after the last prosecution witness Detective Coplo Lugano Mwampeta (32) testified against Muro.
