The court pushed back a forgery case against Kampala District Land Board chairman David Balondemu and Dr. Hassan Ssegujja to May 16, 2025. Chief magistrate Ronald Kayizzi delayed the hearing because lead prosecutor Viola Tusingwire could not attend, though witness Ivan Kyazze was present. Both defendants remain free on bail during this time.
Prosecutors claim the men created fake medical papers at Kampala hospital in 2023, including a prescription form dated November 7 and a CT scan form from June 12. The alleged fake documents came to light when Balondemu used them for bail in another case, saying he needed surgery. Hospital CEO Dr. Peter Kibuuka later told investigators Balondemu was never their patient.
Balondemu has had other legal troubles. He was charged with trying to steal $553,000 from KG Unlimited LLC through a fake government contract scheme and accused of tricking a Korean investor out of 2.2 billion shillings in a gold scam. Both earlier cases were dismissed for lack of evidence.
