DO CREDITORS HAVE ANY SAY IN HOW THE PROPERTY OF THE BANKRUPT IS HANDLED ?.

By Editor


Salim sold building material to Nalongo worth about 30 million. After demanding for over 6 months, he decided to confront her about it. That’s when he found out that Nalongo was being sued by about 4 banks for unpaid loans.  To make matters worse, he has now found out that Nalongo is officially bankrupt and that he cannot directly demand for his 30 million. He however knows about a beer distributor business of hers that is worth about the same money and he went to the court asking that he just takes over that business as compensation.   


WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?


The creditors (those who demand money from someone), are entitled to a say in how the property of the bankrupt is managed for the paying of their debts. 


The law allows creditors the right to appoint someone (called a trustee) to be in charge of the management of the property of the person who is unable to pay their debts.The role of this person is to manage and use the property of the bankrupt to pay off the debts to all the creditors. 


Another way the law allows to participate is by giving creditors the right to be part of a special committee (committee of inspection) which supervises and receives reports on how the trustee is carrying out his/her duties. This means that the creditors can ask about the progress of the bankruptcy process, call for meetings, help the trustee in his/her duties or even ask court to replace the trustee or modify his/her duties and powers.


So Salim cannot claim Nalongo’s beer business but he has a say in who is appointed as a trustee and how the property is managed until he gets his money.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly.   After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.   Can ...
