Baliruno, who is represented by his lawyer Charles Nsubuga of Muwema and company advocates, said that they are still on right track, so they are waiting for 8, April to see what’s going on.
“I know Allah is there to protect me to overcome this case because i used all my youth energy to work for the better of this station but at the end i was chased away like a cockroach “, Baliruno stated.
