The Kisutu Resident Magistrate's Court.
The  Kisutu Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday adjourned the preliminary hearing of a case facing six former National Service, (JKT) servicemen accused of conspiracy, unlawful assembly and incitement.
 
The prosecution, led by State Attorney Genes Tesha, claimed before Senior Resident Magistrate Frank Moshi that yesterday the case came up for preliminary hearing but the case file was not available. 
 
Therefore the court set May 7 for conducting the preliminary hearing. 
 
The accused in the case are George Mgoba, Linus Steven, Paral Kiwango, Emmanuel Mwasyembe, Ridhiwani Ngowi and Jacob Mang’wita.
 
 They appeared before the court for the first time on February 24 this year charged with three counts, including that of unlawful assembly.
 
 They are still in custody following an objection by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).
 
 It was alleged that on February 15 this year at Msimbazi Centre, the accused conspired to commit an offence of rioting.
 
It was further alleged that, on the same day and place, the accused being ex-trainees of the National Service unlawfully assembled with the intention of marching  to the President’s Office (State House) to forcefully demand employment in the public service.
 
According to the prosecution, their intention could provoke other people to commit a breach of peace.
 
However, Mgoba, Steven and Kiwango are also jointly charged with inciting the ex-trainees to conduct an illegal demonstration to the President’s Office.
