In a withdrawal form signed by the DPP justice Jane Frances Abodo, charges against Harriet Komuhimbo and two others have been discontinued.
Kampala: Harriet Komuhimbo, a State House Aide is now a free lady after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) cleared her and dropped false allegations of trespass which had brought against her by a Nigerian National identified as Augustine Onwunche Nnamdi in Kikandwa Zone, Lungujja in Rubaga Division.
In a withdrawal form signed by the DPP justice Jane Frances Abodo, charges against Harriet Komuhimbo and two others have been discontinued.
“This is to inform Court that the DPP has decided to discontinue proceedings against Komuhimbo Harriet, Ahabwe Reagan no- 55459 Magezi Norman charged with trespass C/S 302 (a) of the penal code act,” reads the withdrawal farm signed by Abodo.
