TLDR

  • A three-judge panel led by Judge Dunstan Ndunguru is expected to deliver a ruling today, August 21, 2026, on whether CHADEMA Chairman Tundu Lissu has a case to answer in the treason case number 19605/2025.
  • The ruling follows the hearing of arguments from both sides and evidence presented by 17 witnesses for the prosecution.
  • On August 17, 2026, the panel indicated that it needed time to review the arguments and evidence before making a decision on whether the prosecution has established a sufficient basis for Lissu to defend himself.
  • Lissu's side requested the court to declare that he has no case to answer and to release him, also seeking compensation.
  • According to section 312(1) of the Criminal Procedure Act (CPA), Lissu argued that the prosecution has failed to establish the existence of a prima facie case against him.
