On Dec.08, Buganda Road chief magistrate James Mawanda Eremye charged Mboowa for inciting violence using his social media when he used his Facebook to post audio and video clips rallying people to attack MPs who are in support of amending article 102(b) of the constitution to remove presidential age limit.
