Oscar Industries Limited boss Mohan Musisi Kiwanuka is currently in critical condition due to his battle with Alzheimer’s disease. Unfortunately, his memory loss has worsened over time, leading to the need for medical treatment. Despite the severity of his condition, Mohan has been receiving care at home as his second wife, Maria Kiwanuka, reportedly prevented him from being flown to the United Kingdom for more advanced medical attention.
According to an inside source who preferred anonymity, Mr. Kiwanuka’s health condition started worsening late last year rendering him incapable of taking care of his matters.
“Mama Maria will never allow Mr Kiwanuka to be taken anywhere for further treatment because she fears that his relatives and media may get access to asses his vegetative state, something that may spark public uproar ” a source revealed.
This comes after Maria Nabasirye Kiwanuka, the former Finance Minister in President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s government, and her son Eddin Musisi Kiwanuka successfully assumed powers of attorney to run Mr Kiwanuka’s multibillion empire.
Genesis of family wars;
Mohan is a practicing Muslim and therefore not strange for him to be polygamous. And unknown to many his most famous wife Maria Kiwanuka Nabasirye Kiwana has for decades had to put up with a co-wife in the name of Beatrice Kavuma Kiwanuka (Mohan’s first wife ).
According to the marriage certificate seen by Daily Post, the typical upper-class couple has been married for about 38 years now having solemnized their marriage in 1986 in the United States of America (USA) and Maria has been consummating the marriage since that time.
God blessed them with three children who are part of the 8 Mohan has fathered from his two wives. But some three years ago things gradually began falling apart after the two families began treating each other with extreme suspicion when Maria started monopolizing Mohan’s company and claiming to be the official wife to the active exclusion of the mother and children from the other family to the extent of evicting them from the family properties they had occupied.
Ms Beatrice Kiwanuka says Maria has since denied her and her children access to tycoon Kiwanuka
Mohan Kiwanuka’s sisters speak out ;
Jalia Muwanga and Yudaya Nsereko stressed that their brother is suffering from Alzheimer disease which has caused severe mental decline and rendered him docile yet he is not getting enough help from his wife.
Yudaya Nsereko, who is a retired certified Dementia caregiver who worked with the National Health Services (NHS) in the United Kingdom, where she worked for over 32 years, claims that she used her experience and expertise to establish that her brother was suffering from a mental related problem and needed emergency medical care.
In 2017, Kiwanuka traveled to the United Kingdom together with his wife Maria for his annual medical check-up and when they invited her to see them, she was told that Dr. Farook Maniyar, a celebrated psychiatrist had examined him and confirmed that he was suffering from Alzheimer’s but it was in the early stages with an Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Assessment Score of 77.
Yudaya said that while in the United Kingdom, Dr. Maniyar gave Kiwanuka some medication to slow down his memory impairment, and a few months later he returned for a follow-up.
She said that this time his condition had improved and he was more coherent and lively. She established that the medication prescribed to him was working.
The psychiatrist was also very happy and gave him additional medicine to continue slowing down the progress of his Alzheimers.
Yudaya said that when she returned to Uganda in 2019, she found out that Kiwanuka’s condition had significantly worsened.
She also noticed that Kiwanuka had stopped visiting his psychiatrist in the United Kingdom and stopped taking medication.
She further said that she was also shocked to find her brother in a fight with his first wife Beatrice Kavuma Kiwanuka and his son Jordan Kiwanuka and other children whom he had worked closely with for more than two decades. She said that such behavior resulted from his mental sickness.
She added that she went to his Kololo home to talk to him over the ongoing fights with his first wife and children and she discovered that he was a lonely man who spent his days sitting on his balcony without anyone attending to him.
Yudaya said that to save their brother, she agreed with her other sisters to each spare time during the six days of the week to attend to their brother in Kololo in turns.
“During the time I spent with the Respondent on those visits, I realized that he needed help completing basic tasks like eating, dressing up, walking, going to the toilet, among others. My sisters and I did our best to cheer him up by taking him out in the compound for walks, telling him stories from our childhood, and listening to his stories as well as feeding him. We were his primary caregivers,” Yudaya confessed.
She added, that my brother’s dementia worsened with time. He would repeat the stories he told my sisters and me several times. Although he did initially identify my other sisters with time, he was not able to recognize us individually,” she said.
Yudaya revealed that during the time they stayed with Kiwanuka, they realized that he needed assistance locating different items in the house and he would often forget where he was, was unable to select the food he wanted, and was unable to feed himself and sometimes he forgot to chew food properly and they had to remind him that he has food in his mouth.
She accused Maria of not taking care of her husband because she leaves home early in the morning and comes back later in the evening.
She divulged that the former minister doesn’t have time to ask her husband how his day was. When she (Maria) finds her sisters at home attending to he husband, she stays in her car until they leave.
She added that the house helper spends much of her time on housework so when they are not around, no one is there to even give Kiwanuka his medication.
Maria Kiwanuka takes over the Empire ;
Documents obtained by this media house show that Kiwanuka, with the help of his lawyer Dr. Faisal Mukasa of Fides Legal Advocates appointed and gave Powers of Attorney to his wife Maria Nabasirye Kiwanuka, his son Eddin Musisi Kiwanuka, Bawa Batenda and his uncle Dr. Muhammad Buwule Kasasa to run his run multi-billion empire.
According to the powers of attorney filed at the Uganda Registration Service Bureau (URSB), Kiwanuka assigned his appointed attorneys to exercise the powers given to them in his best interest and for his health and welfare.
“I, Mohan Musisi Kiwanuka of Plot 15 Prince Charles Drive P. O. Box 4122 Kampala (herein referred to as “the Principal”), being a competent adult, of sound mind and under no constraint or undue influence, do hereby appoint Mr. Eddin Musisi Kiwanuka, Mr. Bawa Batenda all of P. O. Box 4122 Kampala, Dr. Muhammad Buwule Kasasa and Mrs. Maria Nabasirye Kiwanuka my one and only wife of Plot 15 Prince Charles Drive, P. O. Box 70612 Kampala (herein referred to as “my Attorneys-in-fact”) to act as initiated below in my name, in my stead and for my benefit. And hereby revoke any health and welfare powers of attorney I may have executed in the past,” reads part of the powers of attorney document certified by URSB.
However, Kiwanuka’s sisters, his first wife Beatrice Kavuma, and her five children have faulted Maria Kiwanuka for shrewdly taking advantage of the frail mental state Mohan is in to manipulatively get him to sign off many documents in her favor and her children to their detriment regarding his vast estate using a fake marriage certificate purportedly from the United States of America (USA).
In 2019, Mohan Kiwanuka’s son Ssebuliba Jordan Kiwanuka also petitioned the High Court seeking orders to conduct a mental checkup on his father, who he accused of not being fully in control of his mental faculties after his father stopped him from the management of the 32 companies, something believed to have been orchestrated by powerful Maria Kiwanuka.
