Charles Musekuura: A Disgrace In-law Who Borrowed UGX400M from His Supposed Brother Desh Kananura and Delivered a Condemned Wetland Instead of a Usable Land

Charles Musekuura, in a bizarre approach plotted an outwardly big deal, marrying into the Kagonyera elite family before he would later scheme to rip-off from them using his deportment as an in-law, This Investigator website can authoritatively write.

This is a shocking tale of betrayal and deceit where, Musekuura, the chairperson of the National Standards Council (NSC), is accused of defrauding his brother-in-law, Andrew Kansiime Kananura Kagonyera, commonly known as Desh Kananura. The scandal has rocked the Kagonyera family and the broader community, shedding light on Musekuura’s dubious dealings and breach of familial trust.

“He is not only a fraudster civil servant but also a bold broad day crook trying to steal from me, his brother-in-law. Very ashaming old man!” Kananura declared, expressing his outrage at Musekuura’s actions. Despite their familial ties, Kananura is determined to recover his money, highlighting the deep breach of trust within the family.

For starters, Charles Musekuura holds a prominent position as the chairperson of the National Standards Council, located at Plot 2-12, By-Pass Link, Bweyogerere Industrial and Business Park in Wakiso, Kira Municipality, Kampala. His victim, Desh Kananura, is a well-known businessman who trusted Musekuura due to their close family connection.

The story began innocently enough, with Musekuura leveraging his position as a brother-in-law to solicit loan installments from Kananura. Over time, these loans accumulated to a significant sum, totaling UGX400M. Instead of repaying the money in cash, Musekuura offered a plot of land at Bukasa Hill View Road as repayment. This transaction was formalized on June 24^th 2022, through a written agreement.

According to the agreement, Musekuura sold the land, located at plot 25 Bukasa Hill View Road, ULC/210/108 Volume 3475 Folio 13, to Kananura for UGX400 million. The agreement stated that the land had no encumbrances or disputes, and the title transfer forms were duly signed and handed over to Kananura. However, to the contrary, it soon became clear that the plot was a wetland, making it unusable due to statutory restrictions by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and the presence of violent squatters.

Despite repeated attempts by Kananura to reclaim his money, Musekuura remained unresponsive. On March 4^th 2024, Kananura, through his lawyers Mugarura, Kwarisiima, and Co Advocates, issued a demand notice of intention to sue Musekuura for the UGX400 million. The notice was received and signed by Musekuura’s wife, Margret, in Musekuura’s absence.

In a handwritten letter dated March 20, 2024, Musekuura acknowledged the dispute and expressed a desire to resolve it amicably within the family. “As I mentioned to you, the Kagonyera family headed by Prof. George Mondo Kagonyera is examining all possible ways to bring me and my brother-in-law, Andrew Kananura, to a compromise position without necessarily resorting to police or courts of law. If this could be achieved, personally, it would make me very happy. Peace and harmony within the family is paramount,” Musekuura wrote to Kira Road police Station CID boss where, he had filed a forgery case.

However, these efforts proved futile as Musekuura continued to default on repayment promises. Adding to the controversy, Musekuura once trotted into Kananura`s presence with UGX100M which, he requested that he keeps it for him for a while. Kananura grabbed this chance to suggest to him that he uses this amount to clear the UGX100M which, he had lent to him on the side on the UGX400M but without documentation.

However, Musekuura swore upon the living God that its money he had gotten as a bribe and which, he wanted to use to get another UGX3Bn (This is a story for another day). Indeed, this money was later revealed to be part of a fraudulent bribe Musekuura had acquired in his capacity as NSC chair.

In a further twist, Musekuura reclaimed ownership of the disputed land on January 19, 2024, through a new certificate of title deed registered as instrument KCCA-00114348. This move infuriated Kananura, who has since sought legal recourse, filing complaints with the police and pursuing a criminal suit against Musekuura.

Despite the involvement of the police, the matter remains unresolved, prompting Kananura to push for justice through the courts. As the saga unfolds, it remains to be seen how this family drama, marred by deceit and betrayal, will ultimately be resolved.
