Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Prominent City Lawyer Peter Mulira is at the center of a property ownership dispute with a section of his family members that accuse him of mismanaging and selling off big chunks of land and a school without the consent.<\/p>\n

While Counsel Mulira denies the accusations, the family claims that he (Mulira) and heir to the late former Ugandan Judge Asensio Mulira has taken advantage of his own legal background and experience to sell off the land including a school.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur grandfather left a lot of assets including 30 acres of land on Masaka-Kyotera Road and Mr Mulira is in the process of selling off a family school constructed by our grandparents without consent of the other family members,\u201d a family member identified as Asensio Mulira Junior alleged in an interview.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Nasanaeri Mulira Memorial School located on the Kyotera- Masaka road was initiated by our grandparent\u2019s in 1953 and supported by the Kabaka of Buganda to have the classroom blocks built. Peter Mulira has without any consultation decided already ordered his workers to demolish several structures without consulting any member of the family,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

Another family member said they overly got concerned when teachers at the school were directed to vacate the staff houses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe area that hosts the construction site of a water processing plant managed by State Minister for Micro-finance Mr Haruna Kyeyune Kasolo was family land but sold off without notifying the other family members. I used to have a banana plantation on this land but I was forced to abandon it after it was sold off under unclear circumstances,\u201d Ms Resty Namusoke emphasized.<\/p>\n

Mr Dumba Nviiri, the Gayaza Village LCI Chairperson in Kimaanya Kabonera Division, Masaka City reacted to this development saying: \u2018\u2018Communities whose children have been benefiting from the school would be denied a chance to study.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

In an interview with the Daily Monitor, Counsel Mullirasaid he intends to transform the school into a vocational and technical establishment that\u2019s more economically viable.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome family members are resisting me from transforming the school constructed through my own effort. This is not family property as claimed. I am already aware of some opportunists within the family that want to fail my plans,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Mulira dismissed claims of selling of family land noting that the source of the claims, Resty Namusoke, is unknown to him as the head of the family.<\/p>\n

Area police have since halted further development on the disputed school encouraging the family to resolve the dispute.<\/p>\n
