Legislator Ibrahim Abiriga of Arua Municipality Tuesday appeared before the Kampala City Hall Court and was charged with urinating on the Ministry of Finance wall fence.

He was found guilty and ordered to pay a fine of $10 or spend two weeks in jail.

Mr Abiriga has however been released after paying the fine.

The prosecution told the court that the MP committed the offence on September 25 this year on Kyaggwe Road in Kampala.

The prosecution said the MP’s action was against the Kampala Capital City Authority Maintenance Law and Order Ordinance, 2016.

Mr Abiriga, who has lately been in the news for supporting the proposal to lift presidential age limit had admitted in a televised interview that he stopped to relieve himself as he was “badly pressed.”

“Should I have kept urine on myself? What is the problem with that?” Mr Abiriga posed.
