Family Feud Over Ex-NRM Boss Karangwa's Billion-Shilling Estate

A significant inheritance dispute has fractured the family of the late Moses Kariisa Karangwa, who previously chaired the National Resistance Movement (NRM) in Kayunga District. The conflict centers on Karangwa’s multi-billion-shilling estate and has led to a legal showdown.

At the heart of the dispute is a legal challenge filed by Karangwa’s nine children, spearheaded by his eldest daughter, Ms Jacklyn Birungi. They are contesting the will and the subsequent distribution of their father’s assets, directly opposing their stepmother, Ms Florence Kirabo.

The late politician and businessman was known for his substantial property holdings, which reportedly include significant real estate and businesses within Kayunga and beyond. Among the assets reportedly under contention are properties like Sauti FM radio station and a building under construction in Kayunga Town.

This family disagreement highlights the complexities and emotional toll that often accompany the division of substantial estates, particularly when there are multiple heirs and a surviving spouse. The legal proceedings are expected to shed light on the specifics of Karangwa’s will and the management of his wealth.

Further details regarding the legal arguments and the specific assets involved are anticipated as the case progresses through the courts.
