The Principal State Attorney, Ms. Betty Karungi Gafabusa, has asked the High Court sitting in Masaka to adjourn the hearing of the money laundering case against Rev. Fr. Deusdedit Ssekabira to February 4, 2026, to allow key parties to file their affidavits.
However, Fr. Ssekabira is accused of laundering Shs500 million, an allegation he denies.
Ms. Karungi told the court that the prosecution requires more time for the Minister of Defence and Veterans Affairs, as well as the Inspector General of Police (IGP), to submit affidavits, which she said are critical to the matter before the court.

Furthermore, the defense team strongly objected to the request, arguing that the concerned parties were duly served with court documents on January 13 and had sufficient time to comply. The defense further noted that the hearing had already been adjourned from an earlier date to January 27 and insisted that proceedings should move forward without further delay.
Presiding judge, Lady Justice Victoria Nakintu Katamba, heard submissions from both sides and is expected to deliver her ruling on whether to grant the adjournment in due course.
In conclusion, the case remains before the High Court in Masaka.
