Kampala. The Ntenjeru North Member of Parliament, Mr Amos Lugoloobi, has been cited in a property row with his mother-in-law, who is also an NRM party mobiliser, Mary Bwogi.
Speaking to Daily Monitor in an interview on Monday, Ms Bwogi accused Mr Lugoloobi of allegedly conniving with her daughter Evelyne Nakimera to ‘send her away from the wealth of her husband’, James Bwogi who was killed by Idd Amin’s soldiers on October 18 1972. Ms Nakimera is the legislator’s wife.
Another set of property under dispute is that of the late Mzee Tucker Kalibbala Bisiriba who was father of Bwogi.
The disputed property that was left in the care of MS Bwogi includes Plot 62, Block 10 at Nakulabye in Kampala, 196 acres at Block 4, Plot 423, a square mile of land at Kayenje in Mpigi, land in Mityana and Luweero districts.
Ms Bwogi said she has kept the property for years without selling it until when her four children grew to begin administering the properties.
“At the time my husband died, my daughter who is now tormenting me was three years old. I never thought in my life that my own child would at any one time turn against me. My daughter has had me detained four times,” she said.
She has however has asked President Museveni to intervene and help her get back her husband’s property.

Denied
Mr Lugoloobi, however, denied involvement in any property wrangle but instead accused his mother-in-law of engaging in forgery to ‘steal’ her children’s property.
“That lady has issues with her children. She has cases in court. I have square miles of land back in my constituency which is unencumbered. I would not yearn for other people’s property,” Mr Lugoloobi said.
Ms Nakimera when contacted, however, alleged that her mother neglected her and her brother only identified as Kalibbala.
“I don’t mind where she (Ms Bwogi) goes but she must leave our estate,” Ms Nakimera said.
She alleged that her mother sold off their matrimonial home in Namirembe including other pieces of land.
The disagreements over the property escalated last week upon the passing on of Kalibbala who succumbed to cancer in the United Kingdom.
Police and onlookers witnessed fracas at the airport as Ms Nakimera and Ms Bwogi scrambled to have control of the body.

Police order
This prompted police to issue an order that the widow, Ms Jennifer Kalibbala, take charge of the body.
“Ms Bwogi approached the Inspector General of police asking for protection at the time the body of her late son arrived at Entebbe. Ms Nakimera wanted burial at Gomba but the mother suggested Nakulabye and we provided security. The body has been laid to rest at Nakulabye,” Mr Vincent Ssekatte, the CIID spokesperson, told Daily Monitor.
