Martha Karua Receives Uganda Law Council Approval to Defend Clients in High-Profile Case
In a significant legal development, the Uganda Law Council has granted a temporary practicing certificate to Kenyan lawyer Martha Karua. This allows her to defend Kizza Besigye and Obeid Lutale charged with firearm possession. This marks a reversal of the council's prior decision citing political concerns.
