Three justices of court of Appeal ruled that Kazinda was wrongly convicted and erroneously served a 5 year jail term that was handed to him by the Anti-corruption court for forging the signature of his former Boss and permanent secretary Pius Bigirimana.

Three justices , Geoffrey Kiryabwire , Stephen Musota and Percy Tuhaise  have overturned Kazinda’s conviction after faulting  trial  judge David Wangututsi of failing to properly evaluate the evidence adduced  before him and  erroneously found Kazinda guilty of abuse of office, forgery and being in  unlawful possession of government stores .

However after fully  serving the 5 years , the 3 justices have today concurred with Kazinda that police and prosecution did shoddy investigations  that failed to prove that the cash withdraw forms and security papers  bearing  a forged signature of Bigirinana  were indeed found at the home of Kazinda ‘s  mother TeopistaNanfuka.

The judges added that by the time of Kazinda’s arrest on July 22rd 2012, he had not yet handed over office as Principal Accountant in the OPM and therefore it’s not surprising that he was found with the ministry’s documents at his residence.

However even though the justices  ordered for Kazinda’s immediate release , he cannot leave prison  because he  is still  serving another 5 year jail sentence handed to him by the Anti -corruption court for causing a 316 million shillings loss in forged  fuel receipts  to the OPM.

Kazinda has Also since appealed against the said sentence which still pending.
