Charlotte Muhwezi Komugisha had considered frustrating the court order directing the transfer of her 12 year old son to bording school instead of remaining in the day section. The boy is supposed to do his PLE in October this year.
The boyfriend with whom she mothered the boy applied to court after his efforts to put the boy in boarding school were resisted and frustrated.
His concern was that the home environment at Makindye, where Charlotte spends the full day ranting and belittling him, had become unconducive for the minor’s education and emotional growth.
Charlotte, who has continued to cling on the Makindye home even after the boyfriend asked her to leave saying he is done with her, had resisted the relocation of the boy to boarding by saying the Makindye home was okay.
She hired a lawyer who tried to oppose the application in court but she lost when the judge Robert Magala granted the application for the boy to go to boarding having agreed that the Makindye home was not safe for him anymore.
Charlotte, unaware of something called contempt of court, considered frustrating the taking the boy to boarding but backed off when she was told she was going to be arrested for contempt of court.
The boy was taken to the boarding on Sunday by his dad as Charlotte followed closely to be able to sign the admission forms as his mother and next of kin. With the boy away from home, Charlotte is now alone at the Makindye home and even the maid is leaving. This will expose her to starvation and sanitation problems without food and water.
The departure of the boy means the boyfriend, who doesn’t live at the home many times for fear of being harmed by Charlotte, no longer has any duty to buy anything for the home.
“She is now in tears because she has no one to clean the home for her, buy the food, pay for yaka and water bills plus the internet for her to have MBs to use to fight and destroy the boyfriend on tiktok. Our friend is clearly going to suffer a lot without the boyfriend providing these supplies. She is jobless and with nowhere to keep getting the money,” said one of Charlotte’s friends.
“There are influencers like veteran journalist Siraje Lubwama who are ready to help her but they have to be facilitated with at least 100k per day yet Charlotte is broke and doesn’t have the money anymore.”
Old man Siraje Lubwama has been in journalism for more than 50 years and he was fired from monitor and observer newspapers.
These days he is a tiktoker and influencer who is always criticizing government online.
He also calls himself an independent investigator working for the principal judge and was recently arrested and detained for weeks while claiming to be investigating Phiona Barungi of state house.
Barungi’s comrades in security have never stopped surveiling Siraje Lubwama, having blacklisted him as a poisonous extortionist critic of president Museveni and his entire government.
By closely working with such an activist who passionately hates Museveni, Charlotte risks being misunderstood by the president’s supporters both in government and security.
