The case revolves around his alleged failure to refund a substantial sum of shs300 million to his fellow businessman, Hajji Mutaasa Kafeero.
According to court documents, the saga began on February 1, 2024, when Hajji Mutaasa entered into an agreement with Sseguya to purchase a sought-after 2023 model Range Rover.
The price tag for this luxurious vehicle amounted to a staggering shs900 million, payable in installments. While an initial deposit of shs300 million was made, the remaining balance of shs600 million was to be settled through 12 equal installments of shs50 million each.
However, an unexpected twist disrupted the smooth progression of the deal. It came to light that the vehicle supplied to Hajji Mutaasa was not the promised 2023 model but rather a 2022 version, a clear violation of the established agreement.
Consequently, he rejected the car, seeking a full refund for all the funds he had already disbursed to the importer, Yassah Matovu Sseguya.
Despite his plea for restitution, Hajji Mutaasa claims that Sseguya only refunded a meager sum of shs50 million, asserting that the initial deposit was non-refundable.
In response to these allegations, Hajji Mutaasa, through his legal representatives at Muwema and Company Advocates and Solicitors, filed an affidavit before the Commercial Court.
In this affidavit, he requests the court to carefully examine the sale and purchase agreement, ensuring that the Range Rover delivered by this prominent businessman aligns with the agreed-upon description.
Furthermore, he seeks a determination as to whether he is entitled to a refund of the substantial shs300 million initial deposit.
The Commercial Court has taken up the mantle of justice in this matter, summoning Yassah Matovu Sseguya to file a response and appear before the court on July 10, 2024, at 2pm. It is on this day that the court will pronounce its ruling, shedding light on the fate of the disputed refund.
In a clash of business interests and contractual obligations, the Commercial Court stands as the ultimate arbiter, tasked with untangling this complex web of financial transactions and determining the rightful course of action.
The outcome of this legal battle will undoubtedly impact the reputations and financial standing of both parties involved, while also setting a precedent for future business dealings within the Kampala business community.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
