Kampala businesswoman Suzan Kushaba has been remanded to Luzira govenment prison over comments she made on social media against Kampala ministers.
Kushaba who was responding to criminal summons was on Thursday arraigned before the Buganda Road Chief Magistrates Ritah Kidasa Neumbe on allegations that she used social media to label two government ministers and another individual as fraudsters and land grabbers.
She was charged with three counts of sending false distress signals, contrary to Section 82 of the Uganda Communications Commission Act.
Prosecution, led by Allan Macunguzi and Grace Amy, told court that the alleged offences occurred between January and October 2026 in Mukono, Wakiso and other areas when while using TikTok account, The Investigator, Kushaba accuse Kampala Minister Minsa Kabanda of being a land grabber and a fraudster.
She is also accused of making allegations against Kampala Minister Kabuye Kyofatogabye, whom she reportedly described as a fraudster by claiming he had misappropriated money belonging to boda boda operators and taxi drivers in Kampala.
In another count, the prosecution alleges that Kushaba described Muzamiru Katumba Mirundi as a land grabber over claims involving the land on which Kamwokya KCCA Primary School is situated.
Kushaba denied all three charges when they were read to her in court.
Prosecution subsequently asked for an adjournment, but told court that investigations into the matter had been completed.
The trial magistrate adjourned the matter to November, 17, 2026 for the state to respond to the the bail application by Kushaba’s lawyers.
