FOUR children of the late local Kadongokamu icon, Paul Job Kafeero, have petitioned State House over the administration of their late father’s property.
Simon Peter Kafeero, 17, Thomas Schwarz, 15, Elizabeth Nagawa, 16 and Mariam Sonia, 30, are also disputing Robinah Namatovu as the widow.
“We stayed at our home at Kajjansi with our father for all his life. We had never seen any woman staying there,†they argued, claiming that Namatovu only came there when Kafeero fell sick.
“This is to request this good office to come to our rescue and institute an inquiry into the death of our father because the people claiming his property boast of having finished him off,†the children asserted.
In a petition they presented to the directorate of the underprivileged and disabled on Wednesday, the children stated: “We children of the late Paul Kafeero, register our formal complaint against people who came in as saviours during the time our late father was on his death bed, who have turned out to take all he had from the house, vehicles and all his property, without considering our rights.â€
A State House official said the matter would be investigated, adding that Kafeero had had long-standing ties with State House.
Namatovu told The New Vision on phone yesterday that: “If there is anybody who is so enraged with what is going on, it is me. Those children are being misled by a one Rashid, a former driver to the late. Who does not know me? I have stayed with the late for more than 15 years. I was even the one taking those children to school.â€
Kafeero, who died last week at Mulago Hospital, is survived by 18 wives and 25 children.
