\t\t\t\t\tLawyers and family members have strongly rubbished claims circulation on local news websites that Supreme Court has uphold the controversial settlement agreement on Dr Muhammad Buwule Kasasa\u2019s multibilion Mutungo hill
\nJabaru Luyima one of the lawyers representing the aggrieved family members and two Dr Kasasa\u2019s administrators, Moses Kanyike Kasasa and Anwar Sempira Kasasa clarify that what was withdrawn from court was just two applications which has no effect on the main application
\n\u201cIt is unfortunate that respected people involved in this matter reached that extent, they are just desperate and wanted to mislead the public. They know very well that their settlement agreement cannot stand in the courts of law, but for us we are still focus fighting for Dr Kasasa\u2019s wishes after his death\u201d counsel Luyima said
\nHe explains that after filing the main application challenging former Chief Justice Owiny Dollo\u2019s settlement agreement which gave opportunity to Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi\u2019s family also benefit on Dr Kasasa\u2019s estate, also filed an interim of stay and temporary of stay applications
\nHe further explains that because they were knowing very well the sensitivity of the matter they were handling and the prominence of the individuals involved with interests of grabbing the deceased\u2019s estate, they wanted to secure a court orders staying the execution of Justice Dollo\u2019s settlement agreement
\nHowever, when appeared before the supreme court for hearing of both applications, they were guided by the presiding Supreme Court justices lead by Five Justices of the Supreme Court led by Justice Percy Night Tuhaise, and others who include Justice Christopher Madrama, Justice Catherine Bamugemereire, Justice Mike Chibita and Justice Monica Mugenyi that the settlement which are being challenged is not yet registered on the Supreme Court record, so no order can be issued from it until it is registered meaning that we\u2019re not necessary in their ongoing legal fight
\nCounsel Luyima said that because they wanted to save time so as their clients including school going children of getting justice quickly and benefiting from their father\u2019s estate, through counsel Simon Kizza a longtime family lawyer decided to withdraw the said application so as Court only concentrate on the main application of putting aside Justice Dollo\u2019s controversial settlement
\nLawyers under the supervision of senior counsel Mwesigwa Rukutana the former Attorney General were supported by majority of Dr Kasasa\u2019s children lead by his beloved daughter Dr Nulu Nakabonge Kasasa to confirm that are still united in fighting for their father\u2019s estate which he sweat for and prevent it from being grabbed by scavengers
\nThe ongoing troubles resulted from Justice Dollo\u2019s mediation which kick-off in 2025 between a section of Dr Kasasa\u2019s children including Sophie Nambalirwa Kasasa the heir, Sarah Nabuwule Kasasa, Janet Nakawunde Kasasa, Issa Kasasa together with the Administrators of the Estate of Sir Edward Walugembe Mutesa including Dorothy Nalinnya Nasolo, Nalinnya Sarah Kagere, Prince David Kintu Wasajja and the Attorney General Kiryowa Kiwanuka
\nDr Nakabonge who was close to her father before his death, since the mediation kick-off, she put up a spirit fight insisting that what was being done was violating the will of her father especially Clause 4.4 which requires that for all material decisions to be made on his estate, the administrators and other beneficiaries should first consult and get approval from the family advisors who are Juliet Nakato and Dr. Sam Mayanja a seasoned lawyer who is also the state minister in charge of lands
\nDr Nakabonge was supported by Dr Mayanja\u2019s letter dated 27th October, 2025 to Dr Kasasa\u2019s heir and other estate administrators, expressing his disapproval to the proposed terms in the controversial Dollo settlement stating that he was unable to understand why the estate of Dr. Kasasa would be required to compromise half of its Mutungo hill land measuring a square mailo as compensation to Mutesa Estate yet Dr Kasasa successfully defended the primary recovery suit and also defended its proprietary rights formally recognized by the Government.
\nIn their application, applicants told Court that they attended the said mediation on September 24, 2025, and under protest, specifically raised the concern that they were being marginalized.
\n\u201cTheir objection was not to the concept of mediation per say but to the fact that substantive terms were being negotiated without their input. The same draft mediation Settlement Agreement which was shared with the Applicants during mediation sessions is the same Agreement which was finally signed despite the Applicants\u2019 protest,\u201d the submission reads in part.
\nCourt documents further read that according to the available records, Dr. Kasasa acquired the said Mutungo hill land in 1978 and was recognized by the Court of Appeal as a bonafide purchaser and later the Government of Uganda itself entered into a Shs26.4bn compensation agreement for the same land.
\n\u201cThe 1st \u2013 4th (the administrators of Mutesa\u2019s estate) Respondents have not provided any legal or moral justification for surrendering half of this land. Their rationale \u201clitigation fatigue \u201cis not a valid ground to give away asset\u2019s worth tens of billions of shillings,\u201d the documents read.
\nDocuments state that Kasasa bought the said land from Barclays Bank currently Absa and before he bought it, it was transferred from Mutesa, to Benjamin Kwemalamala, a top a tycoon in Masaka who mortgaged it and later registered it in the name of Victoria Properties Limited. Victoria Properties later failed to pay the loan they got from Barclays Bank which forced the bank to sell it to recover its money. Dr. Kasasa bought the land from Barclays Bank, now Absa.<\/p>\n
