days within which to defend himself on the allegations.
The said money arose from a personal loan he got from Housing Finance Bank but failed to pay since May 2011.
The Bank says Balikudembe applied for a swift loan
of Sh10million payable in 6 months installments but he only made a few
deposits leaving a balance of Sh156million.
In September last year, Mr Balikuddembe was
arrested at a wedding ceremony on the orders of Buganda road court for
allegedly issuing false cheques to a businessman, Emmanuel Masesane.
Upon his arrest and questioning, Mr Balikudembe
argued that he only acted as a witness in the Sh630million transaction
involving an elderly couple from his constituency and Mr Masesane.
Mr Balikuddembe, who was the best man at the
wedding of a close friend at Rubaga Cathedral, was whisked away by the
Police to the cathedral police post where he was questioned about the
money and released.
He was arrested for allegedly defying court summons to answer criminal charges of bouncing cheques. (NMG)
