Controversial city businessman Moses Kalungi also the former Makindye Division mayor is in big trouble after the family of the fallen tycoon Dr Muhammad Buwule Kasasa threatened to take legal action against him over alleged dealing of Shs3bn fraudulent transaction on their father’s multibillion estate
This website has exclusively established that early this year, Dr Nulu Nakabonge Kasasa a daughter to Dr Kasasa and also a beneficiary of the estate instructed her lawyers to warn Kalungi through a letter not to enter into a transaction of buying one of their father’s property in Mengo on grounds that the family was still streamlining how to manages their father’s estate so that all the beneficiaries including school going children get their share as their father wished.
Exclusively speaking to this website, Dr Nakabonge confirmed the development explaining that to be confident of stopping the transaction, she placed a caveat on the said land situated at Mengo in Kampala city but she was shocked to learn that the caveat was removed without her knowledge and her lawyers immediately petitioned the Commissioner land Registration in the Ministry of Lands to intervene.
She added that her lawyers copied the area police station and local authority over the threat as she placed another caveat on the said property but she was shocked to learn that one of the properties was fraudulently bought by Kalungi and while she was still investigating the matter, she learnt that another plot was also bought by some person even though she warned him through her lawyers and through personally talking to him on phone not to buy the land.

This website has established that some of the tenants have received letters from the alleged new owner threatening them with eviction claiming that he wants to use the properties including Mengo hotel and another building which houses KBS television which is also owned by the estate.
When contacted, Kalungi denied the allegation of involving in the transaction, “you have called a wrong phone number, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Kalungi said.
When asked about the letters from the lawyers and talking to Nakabonge, he hang up the phone. When we insisted on calling him back, he made his number busy.
The development comes at a time when majority of the children are protesting the mediations chaired by Chief Justice Owiny Dollo to solve the over 20 years legal fight between Dr Kasasa and the family of Ronald Muwenda Mutebi Kabaka of Buganda over Mutungo hill land.
Dollo paused the mediation after the children protested the mediation insisting that they are not necessary on grounds that their father won the legal battle and was declared the owner of the land.
Dollo is expected to meet them early this month to pave a way forward on the matter.
“The Mengo land which that man Kalungi wants to fraudulently buy was bought by my father forty years ago and he has been owning it even though there were people who wanted to grab it from him. He won the matter in Court. Our father left a will which is clear on how to manage his estate in his absence, that’s what we wanted to follow as guided by the family advisors and lawyers,” Nakabonge said.
By the time of his death in 2024, Kasasa was among the largest landlords in Kampala city and the country at large and was demanding billions of monies from government for using his land especially in Mutungo.
