According to one of the traders Joel kakembo who narrates that , "we decided to close the buildings because our land Lords decided to cut off power giving reasons that we have not paid power for quite some time yet we do , so we didn't see any reason of working on the dark hence closing the
whole building until the issue is resolved ".
Kakembo insisted that the electrician of the current administration of Drake Lubega and Mansoor Matovu removed the meters we have used to clear the power bills.
This has Prompted Hon. Member of Parliament for Kampala Muhammad Nsereko to intervene and caution Government and KCCA to put up accounts which will help stop such issues from rising up again, he later also warned in the Presence of Anti riot Police and military police that this issues might cause disorder in the city if not hundled well .
The trader who were angry and anxious wanted also to know who is the rightful owner of two buildings and emplored court to have a firm decision on the matter soon .
It should be noted that this confusion has come after the death of Charles Muhangi who was the owner of the two buildings after court's decision. Last month Police guided by the letter from Police Director Legal Erasmus Twarukuhwa directed that Drake Lubega and Yanga Matovu could take back ownership of the buildings , a decision that has left traders in disarray.
After receiving the letter, the DPC central police station ( CPS) Ronald Wotwali led the team of police officers and military police to help in implementing the order of helping Drake Lubega, and young to gain owner ship of the buildings from the administration of late Charles Muhangi who insisted from leaving the building until they over powered them.

The traders wondered how the wrangles around the owner ship of the Qualicel bus terminal and Nabukera plaza will end as they continue to close their shop for the second day.
This follows a directive from the two current Tycoons Drake Lubega and Mansoor Matovu alias Young to pay 5 month worth of rent arleady paid to the late Charles Muhangi when he was running the property.
The traders were holding placards, singing a song praising the administration of the late Charles Muhangi, while others were burning car tyres in the middle of the road and also stoning police forced them to answer with teargas and live bullets.
The angry traders were complaining double payment of the rent which brings confusion down town Kampala.
Traders further adds that they paid the rent of four month to the late Charles Muhangi, but the current landlord Drake Lubega and Young Matovu insisted wanted them to pay again.
The two buildings has been a source of dispute for nearly 15 year's after Drake Lubega and Mansoor Matovu claimed owner ship against former rally ace the late Charles Muhangi.
