Jamwa who faced the Uganda Anti-corruption court on Wednesday, 23rd June 2010 was denied bail after being arrested on Tuesday for trying to escape out of the country at the Eastern Uganda border post with Kenya.

The Chief magistrate of the Uganda Anti-corruption court in Kampala Irene Akankwasa says she has no powers to give bail to David Jamwa.

Jamwa who is remanded in Uganda Luzira prison is needed to answer charges related to the procurement of integrated management system, misuse of credit cards, procurement of stockbrokers, purchase of the controversial Temangalo land, status of Nsimbe holdings, sale of immature bonds, mismanagement of salary allowances and advances and investments of fixed deposits among others.

The charges arise from the Auditor’s Generals report ordered by President Yoweri Museveni. Jamwa’s former Deputy Prof. Mondo Kagonyera who is also the Makerere University is wanted to answer the same charges. Kayonyera says he isn’t scared of answering the charges.

The Judges revealed this on Monday during a round table discussion held in Kampala on sentencing capital offences.

 The judges have told human rights defenders that it is wrong for the Judges to give their opinion on this matter.

The chief Justice of Uganda, Benjamin Odoki says currently, the majority of the people in Uganda still support the death penalty as punishment to the offenders.

He says convicts on death row should be given their punishment after three years as the constitution stipulates rather than keeping them beyond three years.
