Seems to be a rather ordinary lawyer. Once involved in what appears to be a notable case, but the coverage is of the case and not of him personally. Also teaches a bar prep course, but at least in the United States this is not anything important or prestigious. I couldn't find anything indicating any particular importance.

Weak keep. The current version of the article doesn't make a good case for notability and hasn't been updated to reflect recent events, but a Google News search shows over a decade's worth of relative prominence in Uganda, so meets WP:GNG. Was the target of an assassination attempt in 1999, so not really a BLP1E. I don't hold out a lot of hope that this three-year-old article will be improved, though, so I won't cry very hard if it's merged with other encyclopedia coverage of the sedition case.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
