Pidson Kareire wins the Middle East Consultants case

The Drone Media Editor Pidson Kareire has won the Middle East Consultants case.

Kareire was maliciously arrested by Kabalagala Police on orders of Middle East Consultants’ Gordon Mugyenyi and illegally detained at Kabalagala on June 12,2019.

He was then brought before the Chief Nagistrate’s Court of Makindye to answer the charges of and counts of libel .

As a matter of fact, The Drone Media published the truth. It is the first media house to expose the cheating tactics of Middle East Consultants. The labour exporting company has been cheating gullible Ugandans.

Middle East Consultants used all the money to bribe police, security and journalists. In fact, a source tells the Drone Media that whenever Pidson Kareire’s case came over their agents would splash money all over not to publish the story.

Well, His Worship Okumu Muwonge, today at 9:30am dismissed the case, cities many reasons which including malicious prosecution.

However, His Worship declined to compensate Pidson Kareire as some sections of Private prosecution allows. He said he was sympathetic because he has seen hundreds of cases against Middle East Consultants.

Before Gordon Mugyenyi sent the security operatives who harassed Pidson Kareire, he vowed to send him to Luzira Prisons and lots there. However, the reverse is true.

Some sources have intimated that Gordon Mugyenyi is under arrest and is in Masaka prison.

In June this year, on 12th June 2019, some lumpens masquerading as police officers stormed Pidson Kareire’s home without local council (LCI) officials, they bundled him onto a pick up truck to Kabalagala police.

This was illegal. He was supposed to be arrested by Old Kampala police and tried by LDC Court not Makindye court. They violated the law of jurisdiction.

Pidson Kareire was helped by lawyers from Human Rights Network for Journalists Uganda (HRNJ) and specifically represented  by Dan Walyemera of Walyenera and company advocates.
