A 20 year old Ugandan national who visited the country as an official during the World Rugby Under 20 tournament appeared in court for indecently assaulting a Kuwadzana 1 High student in his hotel room.
Eldrine Kayima was represented by his lawyer, Henri Paul Ingabire.
The complainant who is 18 years old submitted an affidavit intending to withdraw the matter but it was however opposed by the prosecutor.
The prosecutor also opposed the granting of bail to Kayima, stating that he was a foreigner and a flight risk.
Ingabire insisted that being a foreigner was not sufficient reason to deny the accused bail.
However, Ingabire, who seemed to be unfamiliar with court protocol,was almost fined with contempt of the court after he dashed to the gallery to get his client’s passport in the middle of the court session.
Kayima was granted $20 bail and ordered to surrender his passport.
