The Anti Corruption Court in Kampala has granted a 10 million Shillngs cash bail to Sam Tusubira a State Attorney.
Tusubira is facing charges of soliciting for 100 million shillings bribe from a litigant in a land matter.
Tusubira who is attached to Attorney General ‘s office/Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs was granted bail yesterday by Grade One Magistrate Esther Asiimwe.
Tusubira was arrested by the State House Anti-Corruption Unit last week and charged with 16 counts of corruption before the Anti-Corruption Court remanded him to Luzira where he has been since Tuesday.
The Prosecutors contend that Tusubira reportedly solicited the bribe from Ronald Yawe who had sued the Ministry of Lands and the Attorney General over the irregular cancellation of his land title.
Of the said 100 million shillings, Tusubira allegedly received 43,660,000 as “facilitation” to procure consent from the Attorney General.
The prosecution further alleges that Tusubira received several bribes to handle and manage Yawe’s land case between October 2023 and January 2024, which was pending before the High Court.
He however denied the charges against him and was granted bail on the presumption that he is innocent.
His arrest followed a complaint filed by Yawe with the Attorney General’s Chambers, alleging that Tusubira took his money but later refused to pick up his calls and failed to assist him in getting compensated.
