It was discovered that he also took the fuel given to him to transport the milk and when he was arrested he had just stolen UGX 1.2M
In court, Tumukunde told the judge that he was being tied up with goat ears to feed Ngo and said his employers were very difficult, he owed them salary but when he came to Kampala he was arrested without any reason.
He asked the court to release him on bail but the judge reminded him that once he was first granted bail he became a Kanyanya musu and to get him back they first arrested one of his bail bondsmen and threw his application in the trash. Court Resumes April 2,
