Minister Kamya dragged to court over 54.2mshs debt

The Minister for Kampala Betty Namisango Kamya, also President for Uganda Federal Alliance is dragged to the Commercial Court over a 54.2mshs debt worth campaign posters used in the 2011 General Elections.

Bakka Abubakari trading as Najab Printers and Stationers claims that on the 21/November/2010 the Minister wrote to him asking him to make posters on credit for her Party’s candidates, who were contesting in the 2011 general elections.

Bakka says that Kamya accompanied her order with signed notices which candidates presented to him before posters could be made; and on 23/January/2011 he delivered posters for 138 candidates worth 64.2million shillings.

However Bakka argues that on 25/January/2011, the Minister only paid 10mshs leaving a balance of 54.2mshs, that she undertook to complete by 2015, but despite numerous reminders, Kamya has upto date not honoured her part of the agreement.

Its on this basis that Bakka through Muslim Centre for Justice and Law, petitioned the Commercial court seeking orders compelling Kamya to pay him the said money and damages for loss and inconvenience.

The Court is yet to summon the Minister to file her defence.
