Incarcerated city lawyer Male Mabirizi through his lawyers of Kibazo Associates has petitioned the Office of the Administrator General challenging the application that pastor Solomon Moses Male and other family members filed to be allowed to manage his father’s multibillion estate without him being considered as a beneficiary.
Two weeks back, the Administrator General placed an advert in one of the dailies confirming that pastor Male and other family members had applied for powers of attorney to administer the estate of the late Muhammad Bazinduse Lulibedda Mutumba
In his petition, Mabirizi pleaded with the Administrator General to halt the process citing fraud with some of the beneficiaries including himself left out.
Mabirizi provided evidence to the Administrator General including a court decision which declared his father’s will fake. Court also announced that his father’s last funeral rights were illegally carried out adding that powers of attorney cannot be issued when the estate is still under contestation in courts of law.

Mabirizi is battling with his family members led by pastor Male over the estate of their father Mutumba who died during the 2019 Covid-19 lockdown.
Justice David Matovu of the High Court directed that all the children of the deceased be subjected to DNA test to establish whether they are biological children of the late Mutumba.
However, pastor Male and some family members protested the decision insisting that they cannot subject themselves to DNA with a stranger like Mabirizi who they claim is not a son of their father.
Mabirizi on the other hand accused pastor Male of influencing other family members to turn against him because of the personal grudge he holds against his late mother Masitulla Mutumba.
He added that for a longtime, pastor Male and other family members have been challenging Court orders to subject them to a scientific examination through DNA because their main agenda is to sideline him and make sure that he doesn’t benefit from his father’s multibillion Estate.
Late Mutumba left behind a juicy Estate with a huge chunks of land in different parts of the country, apartments and rentals in areas of Lubaga Division, Nakawa and Central Division.
Mabirizi alleged that even before securing the letters of administration to manage the deceased’s estate, the accused persons had already started collecting money from the Estate.
Mabirizi claimed that pastor Male masterminded the forging of their father’s will and he is using this forged will to challenge his legitimacy as a son to the deceased.
However, the accused persons through their family lawyer Byamugisha denied all the allegations insisting that the deceased’s will was brought to the attention of family members and friends by a widow who informed them that the deceased is the one who asked him to keep it and produce it after his death.
Byamugisha who was even dragged to law council by Mabirizi over unprofessional law practice added that the said will which Mabirizi is challenging was read openly before the members of the family and friends and his name was not mentioned anywhere when the deceased was declaring the children he left behind.
He advised Mabirizi that instead of wasting his time in Court making his client waste their money, they should look for his family and settle the matter so that life moves on.
