In a groundbreaking decision this morning, the Court of Appeal of the High Court in Kampala, presided over by three judges, has intervened in the controversial case brought forward by tycoon Justus Kyabahwa against the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC). The court has issued an injunction, preventing the sale of any Muslim properties until further notice.

Council Kyambadde Akram officially announced the court’s decision, revealing that the ruling was a response to tycoon Kyabahwa’s lawsuit, which sought the recovery of an outstanding debt totaling 19 billion shillings from the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council.

The case, heard by the three judges, was characterized by the absence of a prior property evaluation, a point emphasized by Council Kyambadde Akram. This lack of assessment raised concerns about the validity of any potential property sale to settle the debt.

In a surprising twist, Sheikhs Aruma, a prominent figure within the Muslim community, corroborated the information, confirming that the Court of Appeal has effectively halted the sale of Muslim properties. This includes the Muslim headquarters, which was at risk of being sold to cover the substantial debt owed to tycoon Kyabahwa.

The decision by the Court of Appeal reflects a pivotal moment in the legal proceedings, showcasing the judiciary’s commitment to a fair and thorough examination of the case. As the news reverberates throughout the community, questions linger about the future trajectory of the dispute and the potential implications for the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council and its financial responsibilities.
