A court in Kampala, Ugandan has fined an MP, Abraham
Abiriga, for causing a public nuisance by urinating in public after pictures of
the incident were widely shared on social media, the New Vision news
site reports.
Abiriga was given a fine of 40,000 Ugandan shillings ( $10,
£5) for the 25 September incident near the gate of the ministry of finance.
He was prosecuted under a city ordinance which says that if
any person is found guilty of "easing in the city" or committing a
"public nuisance" will be fined 40,000 shillings or will be
imprisoned for two months or will receive both punishments.
Mr Abiriga was later confronted by a journalist about the
incident.
He defended himself, saying: "Can I keep on keeping
urine in me".
