Court forces hand over of Hotel Diplomate in Kampala

The Honorary Consul of Pakistan to Uganda, Mr. B. Katatumba, was told by the Commercial Court late last week to finally quit his Hotel Diplomate and hand over possession to Mssrs. Shumuk, following a protracted court case, which in the end was little else but “he said, I did.”

It will be a victory of sorts for Shumuk, who also now possess Katatumba’s former Blacklines House in the city center, leaving the consul pondering his next move after losing his little perch above the city and if to continue the case in the Court of Appeal.

Meanwhile, the saga has come to an end, unless the lawyers are kept busy for another round of arguments over who did what and when.
