THE trial of Brig. Henry Tumukunde resumed on Thursday, with one witness giving his testimony.
Tumukunde is accused of breaching army rules and spreading harmful propaganda.
The witness, Ronald Kabugo, gave court a 16-page transcript of what transpired when Tumukunde was hosted on Radio One’s Spectrum talk-show.
Tumukunde is alleged to have accused the army leadership of blocking his retirement.
Kabugo, a lecturer at the Institute of Languages at Makerere University, told court that his head of department certified the transcript, which was tendered to court.
Tumukunde challenged Kabugo’s competence in carrying out the task.
Tumukunde’s lawyers, Oscar Kambona and McDusman Kabega, queried the accuracy of the transcript, saying Kabugo was not an expert on audio-translations.
The General Court Martial chairman, Lt. Gen. Ivan Koreta, adjourned the case to Wednesday.
