Engineer John Baptist Walusimbi, the former Katikkiro of Buganda, is reportedly facing arrest over alleged unpaid loans to loan sharks and Indian money lenders, including Raja Chambers.
According to whispers, the situation was complicated by a 2023 incident where one of his handlers Robs allegedly failed to account for Sh550million meant for loan repayment.
Walusimbi is now reportedly surrounded by a new group of individuals, including a mechanic who allegedly connects him with money lenders and other hangers-on. This mechanic is reportedly accused of exploiting vulnerable retirees with exorbitant loan terms.
There is also a gentleman claiming to work at State House who is allegedly always in the shadows and demands kickbacks for himself and a purported commissioner.
Sources say efforts by Walusimbi’s family to involve the State House comptroller Jane Barekye in payment clearance have been futile.
The engineer has faced challenges in meeting with President Museveni, with some State House staff allegedly obstructing his efforts.
The Buganda kingdom government has also been criticized for not providing support to its former Katikkiro. It remains to be seen whether Engineer Walusimbi will resolve his financial issues or face imprisonment.
