A 62 year old mother has dragged her 2 biological sons and husband to the Land probe commission for selling- off her matrimonial home in Makerere Kikoni without her knowledge.
Eva Lubega has appeared before Justice Catherine Bamugemereire and her 6 commissioners seeking help to recover her three plots comprised at block 27 Kibuga in Kampala which she claims her husband Ephraim Lubega and sons ; Timothy Muwonge and Enock Matovu fraudulently sold to Lawrence Mukasa.
The commission has heard that the mother's troubles started when her husband Ephraim Lubega mortgaged their then 27 year matrimonial home in Housing finance bank for a 380 million shillings loan which he failed to pay back because of a mental health problem he suffered .
She had asked her elder sons Muwonge and Matovu who are a doctor and banker respectively, to help pay-off the loan and run the family's Hostel business.
But her sons took advantage of her illiteracy , made her sign a document she didn't understand by then purporting that she had given them powers to sell -off the land to a one Lawrence Mukasa.
A weeping Mrs Lubega has told the commissioners that since 2014, she has offered to pay back the money to Lawrence Mukasa who claims to have bought her land but the latter who has since transferred the said land into his names .
She says she has dragged the trio to court but for 5 years she has not got any redress since her sons keep referring to her as a mad woman. She now hopes that the commission will help her recovered her home and land .
