In Fort Portal

The Fort Portal municipality enforcement officer Rogers Mulindwa has been named in stealing family property claiming to be his.

Davis Abesiga a resident of Kyamasongi Busoro sub county Kabarole district accuses Mr. Rogers Mulinda of stealing their family properties that belonged to their late mother.

According to Abesiga, their late mother had only three children, him and two girls, when she died; she left Rogers as the caretaker of them.

Abesiga explains that early last month when they were trying to follow up some of their mother’s properties, they discovered that Roger had a letter of administration and also claimed to be the son of the late.

Abesiga and sisters now want court to cancel the documents since Rogers has no authority upon their properties.

Contacted by www.mknewslink.com  Rogers denied the allegations saying that he has never tried to steal any property from the children.

Roger says that since he is the one that looked after the children since childhood when their mother died, he tried to follow-up the gratuity of the deceased.

Mulindwa says that it’s true that he has letters of administration but he registered all the names of the children. However he says he has called Davis several times to come and gently settle the matter and refused.

Mulindwa who was angrily speaking said that Davis’s late mother’s gratuity is amounting to at least 60M whereby he was about to recover 21M when Davis came in and destroyed the process.
