A serious family dispute over land is brewing in Kawuku, Makindye Division, where a retired army officer, Brig. Gen. Jacob Musajjawaza and others are being accused of grabbing a two-acre piece of land that belonged to the children of their late brother Ssedulaka Kyakonye Mukasa famously known as Sseddu Kyakonye Mukasa.The land in question, part of a bigger estate left behind by their late father Yokana Makumbi Musoke, was given to Sseddu Kyakonye Mukasa in a 1983 will. Before his death in 1986, Makumbi had clearly distributed his properties among his 14 children.Sseddu Kyakonye, who was also his heir, received two acres of land out of 8.5 acres in Kawuku, later acquiring a land title under Kyadondo Block 248 Plot 275 and occupied the land peacefully until his death in 2014.After Kyakonye’s death, things took a weird twist with Musajjawaza, along with his sister Miriam Nanjobe and their aunt Rosira Nantume, starting the process of applying for fresh letters of administration over their father’s estate.They appointed Margaret Nabangya and James Makumbi Junior to lead the petition.In 2015, they filed a new case in court, claiming that their father had died without a will and had only eight children, which has since been contested as false by other beneficiaries. This new petition was used to re-distribute the estate afresh, including the two acres that had already been given to Kyakonye, titled in his name, and used for nearly 30 years.To make matters worse, the land title in Kyakonye’s name was cancelled and replaced with a different plot number, Block 248 Plot 21, without informing his family, beneficiaries or giving them a chance to be heard.Kyakonye’s widow, Nakirayi Mary, and her children were shocked by this and turned to court, accusing Musajjawaza and his group of inappropriate conduct, fraud and land grabbing.Court documents depict them as insisting that the land does not form part of the original estate anymore, as it had been legally given to Kyakonye and should now belong to his children.Through her lawyers, Mary lodged a caveat through the Family Division of the High Court under Administration Cause No. 543 of 2025, asking the court not to grant the fresh application or grant of letters of administration. She also filed Civil Suit No. 33 of 2024 challenging the cancellation of the title and all the other attempts to take over the land.In response, the petitioners (Nabangya and Musajjawaza) claimed that the land was never given to Kyakonye and that it had been left for family burial grounds. They now want to allocate one acre to their sister Rosira Nantume, whom they claim never received her share, while the other acre, they argue, should remain as a burial ground.This version of events has caused more confusion and raised questions about the motive behind the fresh application, appearing as if the new petitioners are trying to take back land that was already distributed according to a valid will.
