What the report says

KAMPALA — Watchdog Uganda reports that relatives of the late Zura Mama Kasuku and the late Ahluwalia Gudo have petitioned Uganda’s president, the Inspector General of Government, the Chief Justice, the Principal Judge and the minister of justice over what they describe as an unusually fast push to take control of two estates. The complaint, dated 16 July 2026, names the Administrator General, Manzi Victor, and a judicial officer, Justice Deepa Verma, in allegations of procedural irregularities and possible abuse of office.

According to the petition, the dispute began on 12 June 2026 when estate files were opened at the Administrator General’s office. The family says only four people attended a related meeting, while other heirs were left out and given no notice. It further alleges that Certificates of No Objection were issued by 15 June 2026, allowing applications for administration of the estates to move quickly in the High Court. The family says it learned of the court cases only after notices appeared in the press on 10 July 2026.

The petition raises concerns about missing supporting documents, the inclusion of properties the complainants say should not form part of the estates, and the lack of an opportunity to object before clearance was granted. The complainants ask for an audit of the relevant files, a halt to the administration process, and possible disciplinary or criminal action if wrongdoing is found. If verified, the allegations would point to questions about succession procedures, conflict of interest, and oversight in estate administration.
