IF I AM TOO BROKE TO PAY SOMEONE, WHAT CAN THEY DO TO ME ?.




Musajjakambwe is a proud man, he drives a Mpenkoni (Landcruiser V8) and does not greet or give lifts to anyone. He owns many acres of land with fat milk-filled cows and a barbed-wire fence. He has four wives and 17 children with a mansion for each one. His neighbours do not like him at all. 

Rumor has it that Musajjakambwe borrowed money and that is why he sold some land off and people from the town are always visiting and shouting at him for money. The other day some money lenders who Musajjakambwe had to pay came demanding for their money and it was discovered that even if all his assets were sold, he would not be able to pay his debts. Musajjakambwe wants to know what is next.

 

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? 


If it is true that Musajjakambwe cannot pay back his loans, then the creditors can just take him to court and ask that the court make an order that says that Musajjakambwe is too broke to pay his debts (bankrupt). In the law, this action is known as a creditor’s petition. 

 

In this matter, the lenders(creditors) explain to the court that Musajjakambwe is not able to pay them. As a result of this, the court will ask Musajjakambwe to explain why he should not be declared bankrupt. If the explanation is not good enough, the court may declare him bankrupt and appoint someone to take over the management of his property and pay off all the money lenders (creditors) by selling off all his property.

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

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...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

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...

CAN I CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT THE INHERITANCE I RECEIVED AND ASK FOR SOMETHING ELSE ?.

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 ...
