A.On the 23^rd October 2020, the Uganda Times carried the following story entitled "Judge was bribed, Says Haji Semakula." An excerpt from the article stated thus:

"Hajji Semakula on Monday told the Nakawa Court that High Court that Judge Patrick Kavuma was bribed to forge a judgment in favour of a company which was involved in a land dispute with him. Semakula, proprietor of General Parts (U) Ltd is charged with trespassing on a plot which Middle North Agencies Ltd claims to own."

Judge Kavuma has filed a suit against the Uganda Times for defamation alleging that the story implied that he was corrupt, criminal, immoral, and deserved no respect from the public.

On the morning of 23^rd October 2020, during its press review, Radio Katwe read out the Uganda Times story.
