Fresh testimony presented today at Mwanga II Court has introduced significant contradictions in ongoing allegations involving Pastor Robert Kayanja, raising new questions about widely circulated claims linking him to explicit material.
During cross-examination, forensic expert Kanene clarified that all videos discovered on the phone of Ssentongo Reagan were either downloaded from the internet or received via social media platforms. Crucially, the expert stated that none of the files originated from Pastor Kayanja or his personal device.
This testimony directly contradicts earlier public allegations suggesting the pastor’s involvement in distributing such content.
No Direct Digital Link Established
In addition to addressing the source of the videos, the forensic expert reiterated that investigations had not uncovered any messages, videos, or audio recordings from Pastor Kayanja’s device that could implicate him in the case.
Kanene further acknowledged under oath that there was no verified forensic evidence linking any alleged audio recordings to the pastor. According to the testimony, any such claims appear to rely on assumptions rather than verifiable digital proof.
Legal Implications
Legal observers note that forensic evidence plays a central role in cases involving digital material. The absence of a direct connection between Pastor Kayanja’s devices and the contested content may significantly weaken claims made against him.
The developments in court are expected to influence both public perception and the legal direction of the case as proceedings continue.
Background
The case has attracted widespread public attention in Uganda, particularly due to the prominence of Pastor Kayanja. Allegations had circulated on social media and in some public discussions, but today’s court session marks one of the clearest forensic clarifications presented so far.
What Comes Next
The court is expected to continue hearing testimonies and reviewing evidence in the coming sessions. Analysts say the weight of forensic findings will remain critical in determining the outcome.
This is a developing story. Updates will follow as more details emerge from court proceedings.
