Court stops Centenary bank from Selling off its former worker’s home

High Court in Kampala has blocked Centenary Bank from attaching property of its employee who is accused of defrauding the financial institution of UGX600 million.

Centenary Bank had sought to recover the money from a one Edgar Kule, its former employee, Edgar Kule was in 2017 sentenced to five years in prison for stealing from the bank but Justice Lawrence Gidudu of the Anti-Corruption Court had ordered a Victim to refund the bank UgX worth 600M.

On Tuesday, 19th Day of May, 2020, Justice Duncan Gaswaga ruled that selling of the house of the convict will cause his wife and siblings homeless, which is more of injustice.

The ruling arose from Kule’s wife, Esther Biira Kabaseke, who had argued that attached their family house was unfair since she had also been part of the construction. Justice Gaswaga advised the DPP and the bank to find another property free of encumbrances belonging to Kule for attachment.
