Wavamunno in court over sale of burial grounds

Mercedes Benz franchise holder Gordon Wavamunno is in a quandary.

His car business is reportedly on the wane after the automobile market got flooded with cheap Mercedes limousines shipped from South Africa.

Wavamunno’s would be the biggest client, the central government, has since resorted to purchasing Japanese cars.

Sources say President Yoweri Museveni in particular has never forgiven Wavamunno for selling him an inferior limousine.

Mbu President Museveni directed the attorney general to sue Wavamunno and Spear Motors and the high court made the businessman to pay heavily for the dishonesty.

As it is, Wavamunno has since lost the money-spinning number plate manufacturing business to Uganda Revenue Authority (URA), the Nile Bank, the Namanve  land holding Coca Cola and lately WBS for non remittance of taxes.

To ward off poverty, Wavamunno has been  understandably selling off chunks of land he owns in Munnyonnyo and lately in Nakwero off Gayaza-Kalagi road where he has a country home, a waning farm where Wavah Water is packed from.

Sources say one of the people who bought Wavamunno’s land in Munnyonnyo is a wealthy Dinka man from Juba.

Neighbors have since dragged Wava to the high court land division for vending their burial grounds. The complainants claim they held bibanja on the land Wavamunno sold off.

Wavamunno says he compensated the complainants and they are now telling lies how the land held burial grounds in order to milk more money from him.

Elsewhere in Nakwero, Wavamunno is frantically selling off chunks of land as if he is no longer interested in them.

Gilbert’s dad started off by grading the land and then parcelled plots out of the land, before telling brokers to scout for buyers for him.

The old man has made money off the plots seeing that he has sold many of them.

Wavamunno’s business of selling land at Nakwero has not been without hitches, though. Bibanja holders dragged the landlord to the RDC of Kira, Muhoozi Sekasamba, accusing him of selling off their plots without compensating them.

Sekasamba visited the locus and directed Wavamunno to respect the rights of the bibanja holders.

The noise from the bibanja holders has since died out, meaning they can no longer shout since they are eating.

We hope and pray the land Wavamuno is selling will ultimately help him to invigorate his business empire again.
