Constitutional court has freed the former Principal Accountant of Office of the Prime Minister, Godfrey Kazinda off six charges!

Kazinda had been sentenced by the Anti-corruption Court after finding him guilty of corruption & abuse of office.
Every time Kazinda served a sentence, he got a fresh one at the end.

The judges ruled that Kazinda was being punished twice for the same crime which is against the double jeopardy rule! Also, a person cannot be convicted twice on two different charges arising from the same conduct unless they are significantly different!

So, the trial of Kazinda in six cases has been stopped but there are still other cases he is still battling with and has consequently been returned to Luzira.
