The Magistrate's Court sitting Masaka has ruled that Laetitia Nakimbugwe, a mistress involved in a property dispute with former Vice President Edward Kiwanuka Ssekandi does not have rights over his fortune.
Nakimbugwe was dragged to court by Victoria Nawangi, an appointed administrator of Ssekandi's properties.
Nawangi challenged Nakimbugwe’s occupancy of a commercial building on plot 14 Edward Avenue, and how she derived powers to collect rent from tenants of the said building. Nawangi also accused Nakimbugwe of failing to pay rent to the tune of Shs 3 million covering six months for the space she was occupying in the same building.
But Nakimbugwe stated that she has been cohabiting with Ssekandi for 25 years, during which they jointly acquired several properties whose earnings were primed to benefit their children, including financing their studies in the United Kingdom (UK).
Through her lawyer Jude Mbabaali, Nakimbugwe stated that the building on Plot 14 Edward Avenue has been under her management until recently when she was informed by 'her tenants' that they had been served with a notice informing them of changes in the management of the building.
The notice dated December 30, 2021, was issued from M/S Ssekandi & Co. Advocates.
While Nakimbugwe stated that she is a co-owner of the same property, with the authority to manage and collect rent from other tenants, she failed to prove her alleged co-partnership.
However, Nawangi presented before the court, documents proving powers of administration from Ssekandi, as the registered owner of the property.
