Da Mighty Family comedian Sammy Okanya was granted a cash bail of Shs. 500,000 by the Buganda Road Court Chief Magistrate on Monday 19th August 2024.
The controversial comedian and activist had been charged with being a common nuisance and remanded to Luzira prison following the #March2Parliament protests which took place in July.
Sammy Okanya had earlier been arraigned before court in absence of his lawyers having been sneaked into the court premises.
During his bail application hearing, the government prosecutor revealed that the investigations into his matters where complete.
He was told to present his sureties who included his mother, uncle, and brother on a non-cash bond of Shs 2m each.
The case hearing is set to commence on the 5th of September 2024 at the Buganda Road Court.
The comedian was also told to leave his National Identity card and Passport in court but given a life-line that whenever he has a valid reason of travel he could access them.
He now joins the several other #March2Parliament protestors who were granted bail and sent back home to enjoy their freedom.
