President Yoweri Museveni’s government has been linked to the Uganda Law Council’s decision to deny Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua a temporary practising certificate to represent Kizza Besigye at the military court in Kampala.

In a letter to Ms Karua dated December 6, the secretary of the council, Margaret Navakooza, outlined the reasons for declining Mr Karua’s application dated November 25.
