She used to be being held on costs of kidnap and intent to abolish.

Even after the allegedly missing individual used to be found the capitol costs had been saved on her for another 2 weeks where she used to be unruffled saved in a jail for convicted murderers in horrific conditions.

After this, the costs had been withdrawn by the Director of Public Prosecutions and had been replaced with a misdemeanor fee on December 16, 2024.

“Transparency and accountability are critical in maintaining the region’s attractiveness for global investors. Addressing governance challenges will not only help improve investor confidence but also ensure that economic growth continues across the EAC,” opines a member of the Oswald family .
