Kalisa Estate Dispute Deepens as Children Challenge Changes to Security Company Bank Signatory
KAMPALA — A legal dispute over the estate of the late Moses Kalisa Kalangwa has intensified after his children and other beneficiaries challenged changes made to the management of one of the companies associated with the deceased.
The dispute centres on Star React Security Guard Ltd, where a board resolution dated September 2026 shows that Kalisa Kalangwa Moses was removed as the sole signatory to the company’s account at Bank of Africa, with Kirabo Florence appointed as the authorised signatory.
According to the certified copy of the resolution, the company’s directors resolved that the bank should honour cheques, electronic transfers and other instructions on the account when signed by Kirabo Florence.
The resolution was subsequently presented to the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB), with the document bearing a URSB certification stamp.
However, the development has now been challenged by children and beneficiaries of the late Kalangwa through their lawyers, Byenkya, Kihika & Co. Advocates.
In a formal notice addressed to the Registrar of Companies on September 17, 2026, the lawyers raised concerns over what they describe as “fraudulent resolutions” concerning Star React Security Guard Ltd and requested URSB to halt company registry transactions involving companies associated with the deceased pending determination of the dispute.
The lawyers state that their clients include Jackline Kobusingye Birungi, Kalisa Moses, Mugume Moses, Nina Angel, Kamusime Antonio, Kalangwa Saidi, Sarah Mwebaze and Kemigisha Hanisa, whom they identify as biological children, lineal descendants and beneficiaries of Kalangwa’s estate.
The lawyers further state that Kalangwa died intestate on May 18, 2026, at Nakasero Hospital in Kampala.
According to the notice, the deceased had interests as a shareholder and/or director in about 20 companies registered under Uganda’s Companies Act.
Children seek to stop further changes
The lawyers have asked the Registrar of Companies to intervene by stopping further transactions on the companies linked to the deceased while the estate dispute is being addressed through the courts.
The notice also refers to pending litigation in the High Court, indicating that the disagreement extends beyond the individual bank-signatory change and into the broader administration of Kalangwa’s estate.
The documents raise questions over who has authority to make corporate decisions affecting companies in which the deceased reportedly held interests, particularly following his death.
The September 2026 board resolution, however, does not by itself establish that the change was fraudulent. Whether the resolution was lawfully made, who had authority to pass it and whether any wrongdoing occurred are matters that would ultimately have to be determined through the relevant legal and corporate processes.
The dispute therefore puts the management of Kalangwa’s reported business interests under increased scrutiny as his children and other beneficiaries seek legal protection of the estate.
Daily MirrorUG will continue to follow the court and URSB proceedings as the parties contest control and administration of the companies associated with the late businessman.
END.
