Late Bishop Shalita, Kajundira Land Saga: Museveni’s Staff Bash State House Legal Secretary “Ndyomugenyi” During Heated Public Hearing

Two officials from the top offices, one attached to State House and another in the Office of the President, on Monday January 9, clashed as the battle, to recover the grabbedd land belonging to late Bishop Shalita took shape.

Bishop Shalita’s family accused its late Christopher Kajundira counterpart for grabbing their land, a battle that has raged on for three decades.

During the heated public hearing, Sandra Ndyomugenyi who works as a Legal Secretary in State House clashed with Grace Kabayo Majolo an official from the president’s Office. Ndyomugenyi was on the side of Kajundira’s family while Majolo was on the side of Late Bishop Shalita’s family.

It was a sweeting battle for lawyers from MNA Advocates, who are representing family of late Kajundira, when their counterparts from the Kampala Associated advocates asked them questions during the heated cross examination.

As the hearing commenced at the Ministry Headquarters Ndyomugyenyi a proposed that the issue of land wrangles be sorted amicably between the two warping factions.

Her proposal met stiff resistance from relatives of the Late Bishop Shalita who demanded to know if her suggestions were the official representation of H.E the President, or State House for that matter. Majolo bashed her right away.

“My sister from State House may make the public assume that State House is used to abuse public order and disregard court orders. If it’s an official comment from State House, then it must be documented, not verbally relayed like that,” Majolo said , adding,

“State House always has formal ways of addressing issues,” 

After being lambasted, Ndyomugenyi walked out of the tribunal in protest.

This is not the first time she (Ndyomugenyi) is receiving an outburst for using her position to drive personal matters.

In October 2022 State House in a letter written by the Presidential Press Secretary rubbished a letter purportedly written by Sandra to SK Mbuga regarding non payments for works done by cyber experts.

The PPS urged the public to treat Ndyomugyenyi’s letter she signed on behalf of Presidential Private Secretary Dr. Kenneth Omona as baseless, false and full of contempt.

The Bishop Shalita, Kajundira Family Land Saga

In early 2022, the family Kajundira under the alleged command of Major Muhoozi Kajundira violently invaded and occupied Bishop Shalita’s land.

They later in March rushed to Court and filed appeal case Ref:(Msc Application No 354 of 2022) arising from miscellaneous Application 172 of 2022, arising from High Court Civil Revision No. 004 of 2022, arising out of High Court Miscellaneous Application No.002 of 1996, Arising out of Chief Magistrate Civil Appeal No: 076 of 1990) to reverse the old verdict of the high court that had evicted his father, family, kin and kith, apparently in preparation for the creation of the 4 illegal titles, but the High Court could hear nothing of their gimmicks and dismissed the application by Maj. Muhoozi and his brother Mutungi Kajundira, and fined them Shs10m each for contempt of court.

The same Court convicted the Ag. RDC and DPC Kiruhura then and fined them Shs108m each for aiding the dual in their contempt of court.

Despite the standing court orders warning the Kajundira family to restrain from accessing the land of the late Shalita, they still went ahead and obtained titles mounted on an already existing plot belonging to the Late Bishop Shalita.

These are the titles the family of Bishop Shalita demands the commission must have cancelled.

First Public Hearing 

On December 12, 2022, the Commissioner of Land Registration chaired the L first Public hearing regarding this matter.

Unlike the December hearing that was shunned by family of the late Christopher Kajundira, this particular one (Monday)  had some Kajundira family members in attendance.

A dozen of the members of the Bishop Kosiya Shalita’s family and relatives filled the Ministry of Lands Board Room.

The public hearing had been called by an advert placed in the Daily Monitor of November 12 2022, which had outlined the necessity for the two parties to attend and present their evidence.

The family of Bishop Kosiya Shalita, responded to the summons and were in attendance. Through their lawyers, the late Bishop Kosiya Shalita’s family and relatives presented overwhelming evidence to prove illegalities committed by the Kajundiras and their accomplices and demanded that the 4 illegal titles made in the names of the Kajundira’s be counseled.

Through their lawyers, the late Bishop Shalita’s family proved that the four land titles under family of late Christopher Kajundira was illegal, fraudulent, and suspiciously obtained and demanded that they be cancelled.

Those dragged to court for fraudulently obtaining the titles include:  Kyamukuku Magret, Mutungi Charles, Atushumbusire Phiona, Maj. Muhoozi Kajundira Godfrey, Ninsiima Alex, Kirabo Alice, Katuru Charles, Mbihingirwe Benon, Mugarura Henry, Arinaitwe  Bernard, and Ampurire Ezra..

Land Registry Makes Final Verdict

At the Monday Tribunal, officials from the Ministry of Lands Registrar of Titles concluded their hearing from both parties and set 31 January as the final day to release their verdict on the matter.  Kaguta Hakim one of the officials said: 

“During the first hearing we only heard from lawyers representing late Bishop Shalita’s family, today we have also heard from the lawyers representing the Christopher Kajundira family.” 

“We shall now move and male our final judgment to the matter in three weeks time where we shall decide either to cancel all the four titles or advice otherwise.”
