The officials of the opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) who are facing treason charges in the High Court in Kampala have complained that appearing every month without trial is so costly for them as individuals and the party in general.

The officials include Ingrid Turinawe (FDC woman leader), Sam Mugumya (FDC Presidential aide), LC3 chairman for Nangabo Sub County in Wakiso district, Tony Ssempebwa, John Walakira and Patrick Mayanja and FDC youth chairman, Francis Mwijukye.

Turinamwe told court on Monday that the government is using the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to delay their trial such that they run out of pocket.

Mugumya warned that they are about to boycott the court process if the DPP fails to complete investigations into their trial.

The Nakawa chief magistrate, Esther Namabayo adjourned the matter to April 16 for mention. The case was adjourned after the state prosecutor; Beatrice Odongo requested court to adjourn the matter to April month saying that the DPP was still compiling the facts to be used in courts against the suspects.

The government side alleges that the suspects between August and October 2011 in Kampala, Hoima, Wakiso and Mityana district planned to overthrow the NRM government by use of guns. The suspects are being represented by their lawyers Akello Patricia, and Ernest Kalibbala.
