Allegations Of Fraud And Theft Rock Freeman Kiyimba’s New Taxi Park Building

A shocking case of alleged fraud and theft has surfaced at the New Taxi Park Freelockers building in Kampala, with a tenant accusing several individuals and companies of involvement.

Background
Matovu Fauzi, the tenant in question, had paid two months’ rent totaling 3 million UGX via bank transfer in December 2024. However, Meddy Ssaka, the middleman responsible for collecting rent, demanded additional payment. When questioned about his identity, Ssaka refused to provide information.

The Allegations Unfold
Further investigation revealed that Ssaka was allegedly colluding with employees of Mariana Agency, the building’s caretaking company. The situation took a dark turn when Matovu found his shop locked, only to be briefly opened before being locked again. Ssaka then returned, claiming the tenant’s fee, despite Matovu having already paid via bank transfer.

Escalating Events
The situation escalated, with Matovu’s employees being forced out of the shop. Over 21 million UGX in cash, electronics, and other goods were left behind and locked inside. Matovu alleges that Ashraf, a broker, is involved in referring clients to con artists. Mariana Agency members Imelda, Josephine, and Jimmy are also implicated.

Accusations of Complicity and Negligence
The LC1 Chairman, Mr. Sam Omara, is accused of being complicit in the theft and threatening violence against the complainant. Matovu claims that Omara sabotaged efforts to arrest Ssaka, instead filing a case against Matovu on behalf of Ssaka. Freeman Kiyimba, chairman of the Freeman Freelockers building, has failed to address the issue.

A Larger Pattern of Fraud?
Several businessmen in Kampala have fallen victim to these fraudsters, with some businesses collapsing due to excessive tenant fees charged by brokers. The building management’s negligence and Mariana Agency’s inaction have exacerbated the problem, leaving many to wonder if this is part of a larger pattern of fraud.
