    Lord Mayor Lukwago Narrates Why He Is At War With NBS TV Boss Kin Kariisa…

    City Lord Mayor Ssalongo Erias Lukwago (R) and Dr. Kin Kariisa (L)

    Maverick Kampala City Lord Mayor Ssalongo Erias Lukwago has narrated why he is at war with Dr. Kin Kariisa the Chief Executive Officer of the Next Media, a multimedia company.

    Lukwago revealed that his troubles with Kariisa started in 2022 when he filed a court case against Ofwono Opondo the Chief Executive Officer of the Uganda Media Center.

    Lukwago filed a case at the High Court Civil Division seeking a declaration that Ofwono’s actions of physically boxing him when they were hosted at NBS for a live talk show ware an insult on his reputation and lowered him before well thinking members of the public.

    He explained that Ofwono damaged his reputation as the capital city Lord Mayor, a former Kampala Central Member of Parliament, a celebrated lawyer and a deputy president of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC).

    He pleaded with court to direct Ofwono to compensate him with Shs500m.

    While on Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi’s CBS radio, Lukwago revealed that during the process of collecting evidence, he went to NBS Television and asked for the footage which was captured when Ofwono was insulting him to support his case.

    He alleged that NBS declined to give him the evidence and they also declared a boycott on him.

    “They no longer host me on all their political talk shows starting with Frontline where Ofwono nearly killed me and Barometer on their next radio but I’m still pursuing my case,” Lukwago said.

    He claimed that even if as a Lord Mayor he presides over a function in the city as a guest of honour, NBS TV picks a councilor to give a comment concerning the function and present him as the chief guest.

    He boasted that even if NBS boycotts him, his views are clearly expressed when he appears on Kabaka Mutebi’s CBS radio.

    It is not clear why Dr. Kariisa was very bitter with Lukwago yet he allowed Maria Matembe to return on all his media outlets even after dragging Ofwono to Court over the statements he made against her on Frontline talk show.

    Ofwono accused Matembe of being among the people picking money at night from State House.

    When Matembe took Ofwono to court, he hired President Museveni’s lawyers of K&K Advocates who successfully defended the case brought against him and Matembe was badly defeated.

    However, a number of editors are very happy with Kariisa because Lukwago is in the habit of dragging media houses to court even on small issues which can be amicably resolved.

    He is currently battling with New Vision and also dragged Red Pepper to court.

    Kira Municipality legislator Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda recently disclosed that when Red Pepper published a story that he was bribed by Museveni’s young brother Gen. Salim Saleh, he had a bitter exchange with Arinaitwe Rugyendo one of the Red Pepper Directors and the matter was solved on phone.

    Judge Shields South Sudan Tycoon As Shs1.65bn Trial For Socialite Sipapa And Wife Kicks Off…

    Sipapa with wife in court

    Justice Michael Elubu of the Criminal Division of the High Court has shielded South Sudan tycoon Jacob Arok as socialist Charles Olim alias Sipapa and wife Shamira Nakiyimba’s Shs1.65bn trial kicks off.

    Arok was the first prosecution witness to testify and the trial judge agreed with the State that the witness who is also the complainant must be protected by being allowed to testify in-camera.

    The accused person’s lawyers led by Henry Kunya tried to object to the prayer but they were overruled and only the lawyers in the matter, judge, Court clerk and the accused persons were the ones allowed in court to hear the proceedings continue.

    Sources said that the judge decided to protect the witness because he is a South Sudanese Commissioner in charge of South Sudan Pension Fund yet he was going to testify on allegations which might have put him on the spot for smuggling money into the country from South Sudan, which was supposed to be paid as pension to South Sudan public servants.

    Sources privy to the details of the in-camera court sitting disclosed that recently, South Sudan President Salva Kiir complained to President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni that there are a number of his government officials who steal public funds and invest the money in Uganda. He pleaded with the President to repatriate such officials back to South Sudan so that they are prosecuted.

    Sipapa’s trial is very sensitive because there is information which should be protected from the public like the allegation that Nakiyimba has been making criminal dealings with security bosses here in Uganda and abroad particularly in Dubai where she spends much of her time.

    Nakiyimba met a one Sumayiyah in Dubai, before meeting Sipapa, she told her that she was a senior officer in Uganda police who was on the run after being implicated in stealing billions of shillings.

    She explained that Sumayiyah was in possession of a lot of money and she told her that she stole the money from a top government officer to start a new life in Dubai and because of the connection she had both in Uganda’s security apparatus and abroad, it was easy for her to engage and get married to Sipapa who was a businessman dealing in gold.

    It alleged that because of her connection in security, Sipapa picked interest in her and they got married but she kept on talking to Sumayiyah and selling gold to her.

    The accused persons are also alleged to have connection with Chinese nationals who are on a wanted list and have been conniving with Sipapa’s gang to compromise banking systems and stealing people’s money from their bank accounts.

    In 2022, Sipapa and wife were arrested and charged with six counts of aggravated robbery when they forcibly entered Arok’s house and stole expensive phones, television sets and money in dollars allegations they denied.

    Minister Mayanja, Tycoon Kavuya In Shs3bn Defamation Legal Battle…

    State Minister in charge of Land Dr. Sam Mayanja (L) and businessman Ben Kavuya (R)

    Controversial Legacy Credit company limited Tycoon Ben Kavuya has hired Justice Oscar Kihika’s law firm of Kihika Byenkya and Company Advocates to battle Kampala Associated Advocate (KAA) founding partner who also doubles as State Minister in charge of Land Dr. Sam Mayanja in a Shs3bn defamation case.

    Kavuya filed a defamation case before Masaka High Court seeking a declaration that Mayanja, a celebrated commercial lawyer defamed him before well thinking members of the public when he branded him a land grabber.

    He further claimed that Mayanja made demeaning and inciting statements against him before the public.

    Kavuya claims that Mayanja damaged his name because the statement went viral both in mainstream media and on social media damaging his reputation as a businessman which he has built for a long time.

    He wants court to order Mayanja to compensate him Shs3bn.

    He admitted to owning the contested land in Lwengo district which he says he bought legally and is on good terms with the neighbours.

    He accuses Mayanja of trying to incite his neighbours to turn against him.

    Mayanja was given 15 days to file his defense.

    However, speaking to theGrapevine, Minister Mayanja boasted that he is going to floor Kavuya to the extent that he will be the one to compensate him.

    “Since President Museveni appointed me a minister, over 18 cases have been filed against me before the courts of law and I have been winning one by one. I’m telling that man that I’m going to defeat him like I did to others,” Mayanja said.

    He revealed that his lawyers are going to file a strong defense this week, and they will subject Kavuya for cross-examination to expose him before court and show him that he doesn’t have that reputation he claims he has.

    Mayanja said that Kavuya will tell court how he knew about the meeting before it was held and he sent his to record whatever he told the tenants who he was threatening to evict.

    He said that Kavuya is relying on the said audio recordings as evidence against him, that is why he wants to know why he sent agents to record him if he had no issue with the locals in the area.

    During the Lwengo meeting, Mayanja threatened to arrest all people named in land grabbing in the area including Kavuya.

    He boasted that president Museveni appointed him as lands minister to save poor tenants from mafias and land grabbers who illegally want to evict them from their legally owned bibanja.

    He divulged that he is not going to be threatened by people like Kavuya, instead, he will continue mobilizing bibanja owners to fight for their land rights and resist illegal eviction from their bibanja.

    He added that he is ready to pay the price.

    This is not the first time Kavuya is being dragged in land grabbing. During Justice Catherine Bamugemereire’s land probe, he was accused of pulling out a gun to threaten people who were trying to resist his land grabbing tactics.

    Nichols Richard Dumba, a 36-year-old Welder testified before Justice Bamugemereire’s Commission that Kavuya wanted to kill him and his family members over 2 acres of land situated on Kyadondo block 216 plot 221 on Kulambiro Hill, Nakawa Division Kampala city.

    Dumba told the Commission that Kavuya threatened him with his pistol in one of the meetings he held with him to solve the matter amicably, he boasted in the middle of the meeting that he is going to report Dumba to president Museveni because he is his close friend.

    To show that he was serious, Kavuya immediately made a phone call and jumped out of the meeting, speaking on top of his voice that, “Mr. President, this young boy wants to grab my land,” Dumba quoted Kavuya before Bamugemereire’s commission.

    However, Kavuya denied all the allegations made against him before the commission claiming that he legally bought the said land.

    He admitted before the commission that he holds a licensed gun but denied all the allegations of using it to threaten Dumba adding that he knows President Museveni at a business level but not on a personal level as Dumba testified.
