In Kabale—-

The three surviving children of the late James Karambuzi who was executed in 1973 in Kabale District by Amin’s regime, are up in arms jostling as to who should manage a multi-billion shillings building complex , that was donated to them by President Yoweri Museveni.

Karambuzi was one of the original FRONASA Members that were rounded up by Amin’s regime in 1973 for rebel activities and were eventually summarily executed in their respective home districts.

As a gesture by Government to award the families affected, in 2018, a 1.6 billion (shillings) multipurpose Commercial building was constructed for the Karambuzi descendants along Kabale Katuna Road in Kabale Municipality.

The three storied complex composed of 18 rooms was constructed by Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF) Engineering Brigade at a cost of 1.6 billion shillings.

According to the instructions from the office of the President, the building is supposed to help the surviving biological children of the late Karambuzi and dependents of Karambuzi and his wife Norah Karambuzi.

Under the same arrangement, all the grandchildren of Karambuzi and others are entitled to State House scholarships and upkeep.

The three surviving children of the late Karambuzi are James Happy Karambuzi aged 50 years, Constance Karambuzi 55 and Annet Karambuzi 45 years.

However, the two girls are accusing their elder brother James and his wife, of monopolizing the management of the estate of the late Karambuzi as well as enjoying the biggest revenue from the estate.

In an interview, Constance Karambuzi, said the all the children of the late are supposed to share equally proceeds from the estate but her brother seems to sideline the girls, on ground that they got married and they are no longer entitled to share on the late Karambuzi’s estate.

“All of us suffered when our father was killed in 1973,we dropped out of school and had to get married early as a way of hiding from Amin’s soldiers and the way of survival,” said Constance Karambuzi.

In a separate interview, James Karambuzi , explained that he’s been regularly helping his sisters financially but they do not appreciate adding that they want him to extend the same to all their children and husbands.

Other families who lost their loved ones in 1973 in a similar way and are being assisted by President Museveni include, the Bitwari and Besingezi of Kabale Municipality and the family of the late Kangire from Rukiga district.
