This is what creeping censorship looks like. Article 29 protects the press because the public has a right to know.

The harm judicial officers (@JudiciaryUG) are inflicting on Ugandans is plain, colossal and fatal. Even the blind can see it.
When courts make it a habit to disregard the letter and spirit of plain constitutional provisions on bail as well as established precedents, they destroy the credibility of the legal system. It's difficult for the Magistrates to appreciate the harm they are doing to the legal system but they will find out long term.
JUST IN: Erias Lukwago’s bail application rejected
The Magistrate agreed with the prosecution on the gravity of the offence and the risks surrounding ongoing investigations.
