The secretary of Soroti University has petitioned the Principal Judge, Flavian Zeija, seeking withdrawal of trial judge Margaret Tibulya from hearing her case over alleged bias.
Ms Ruth Achimo Etibot accuses the judge for denying her a chance to get legal representation.
In 2018, Ms Achimo was charged and arraigned before the Anti-Corruption Court on charges of abuse of office and diversion of public resources.
Ms Achimo claims that on September 21 last year, her lawyers filed an application before Justice Tibulya challenging the legality of the prosecution’s intended evidence against her.
