The Ugandan Law Council has finally granted Martha Karua a temporary practice certificate that will allow her to represent detained Opposition politician Kizza Besigye.

Karua received the certificate on Monday after she re-applied through the Uganda Law Society.
“The Law Council has granted a temporary Practicing Certificate to Hon. Martha Karua, following her reapplication through the Uganda Law Society, as directed by our #RadicalNewBar President, Isaac Ssemakadde,” the Ugandan Law Society said in a statement.
This comes about four weeks after she was denied a practice license by the Ugandan Law Council.
Karua is the lead counsel in Kizza Besigye’s case following his alleged abduction in Kenya and was later on court-martialled in Uganda, alongside his friend Obeid Lutale.
