After two weeks in jail, Kawempe South MP, Mubarak Munyagwa Sserunga made a down payment of 15 million shillings of sh100m he owes a one John Baptist Maali and was released from Luzira Prison by High Court.
Part of the money was contributed by former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) presidential candidate Dr Kizza Besigye.
Munyagwa promised to have the rest of the money paid by 2nd ,August 2017.
He is to pay sh20m on May 2, sh30m on June 2 and sh35m on August 2, 2017 plus sh6m being interest or else the execution for the total sum shall issue.
The MP’s troubles stem from a reported failure to give vacant possession to a piece of land he sold to Maali in 2015. Maali claims that he requested Munyagwa to refund his money but in vain.
It alleged that Munyagwa through his agent, one Meddie Basajja, approached Maali saying he was interested in selling his land at Kyadondo Block 205, Plot 509 at Kawempe measuring 0.316 hectares .
Munyagwa then Kawempe Municipality division mayor, reportedly confirmed to Maali that land in question was his and that he bought it from one Sentongo Bakali and he was processing its title from Kampala District Land Board.
