Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs Norbert Mao has declared that Dr. Kizza Besigye will be brought before a civilian court on Wednesday for a decision on his current predicament.
The situation unfolds against the backdrop of mounting worries about Besigye’s health, as his seven-day hunger strike takes a toll on his well-being, with water being his sole source of sustenance.
Minister Mao raised concerns about Besigye’s deteriorating health and the reluctance of medical staff to administer treatment in the absence of proper nutrition.

Mao’s comments drew ire from lawmakers, leading Speaker Anita Among to suspend parliamentary proceedings for a closed-door discussion involving government officials and opposition members.
After the meeting, Speaker Among directed ministers to closely monitor the situation and provide an update by 4 PM. Minister Mao reiterated the plan to present Kizza Besigye in court, emphasizing that the final decision rests with the judicial authorities.
