The order to Transfer Kitatta to a civilian prison comes after a request from the army’s prosecutor Captain Samuel Masereka after he informed court that it’s now safe to remand Kitatta to a civilian prison given the fact that his case is now coming to an end and it no longer poses a threat to his life .
Captain Masereka added that security at Luzira prison has since been tightened and Kitatta will be safe in there .
However his lawyer Shaban Sanywa put up a spirited resistance against the transfer of his client to a remand center in which prosecution knows that security is not guaranteed yet there are rumors that he was going to be poisoned from the barracks.
