The family dispute surrounding the death of businessman James Garuga Musinguzi has escalated after his son, Alwyn Carl Garuga Musinguzi, accused his mother of making decisions he claims contributed to his father’s death.
Alwyn made the allegations while responding to remarks by his mother, Peace Kesiime Musinguzi, during a memorial service marking one year since Garuga’s death.
He questioned why his father was not taken abroad for specialised treatment, arguing that Garuga had the financial ability to seek medical care outside Uganda.
“My mother is no victim. She’s my own biological mother. I know her better than all of you,” Alwyn said.
He claimed plans had been made for his father to receive treatment at Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States, but alleged that the arrangements were blocked. He also claimed delays in securing travel documents affected plans to take Garuga to London for further medical attention.
Alwyn accused his mother of supporting medical decisions that he believes worsened his father’s condition before his death. However, the allegations have not been proven, and Peace Kesiime has previously denied accusations against her.
Dr James Garuga Musinguzi died at Nakasero Hospital on August 6, 2025, aged 71. His death has since been followed by a bitter legal dispute over his estate, with Alwyn estimating his father’s wealth at more than Shs1 trillion.
The High Court later appointed the Administrator General to temporarily oversee the estate after family members failed to reach an agreement on its management.
The family dispute remains ongoing, with Alwyn insisting he wants answers about his father’s final days and the handling of his assets.(For adverts, inquiries news, send us a message on +211929244599)
