Kampala District Land Board Chairperson David Balondemu has been remanded to Luzira prison on Charges of forgery of a medical form.
The Court at Buganda Road had issued an arrest warrant against David Balondemu and a Mulago Hospital Medical Hassan Ssegujja.
On Sunday the police arrested Balondemu on his return from a trip in Dubai at Entebbe International Airport
He has been arraigned before chief magistrate Ronald Kayizzi and denied charges of forgery and Conspiracy to commit a felony.
It’s stated that last year in Kampala Balodemu and others still atlarge , knowingly and fraudulently conspired to make a false prescription medical form dated 7th/ November 2023.
The court has remanded Balondemu to Luzira prison until Monday 21st after the state Prosecuter Viola Tusingwire said she needed time to verify the bail documents for his 3 surities presented through his lawyer Hassan Kamba.
This would be the third time Balondemu is remanded to Luzira prison .
Balondemu’s troubles stem from the year 2023 when he was arraigned before the same Court on charges of obtaining money by false pretence and he needed a medical document to back his reasons for bail.
Balondemu then brought the contentious medical form to court but it was later withdrawn by his lawyers, hence the state decided to levy charges of forgery against him and Dr. Segujja who allegedly authored the medical prescription showing that Balondemu was due for a medical surgery at a Kampala Hospital .
Even though the obtaining of money charges have since been withdrawn for lack of evidence, the state is determined to take on Balondemu for forgery.
