Some of the businesses tycoon Sudhir Ruparelia has taken over due to unpaid loans Following the overwhelming interest you, our valuable readers showed in our exclusive expose about the amiable Capt Mike Mukulas problems with tycoon Sudhir Ruparelia over a Shs500m loan, we felt obliged to bring you some of the people who have lost property worth millions to the moneybags. Somani brothers The Asian brothers owned Baumann House along Parliamentary. It’s the building which houses several MPs’ offices who could not find space at the Parliament building. Sudhir took over the building several years back; after the brothers failed to return over $1m they had borrowed from Crane Bank. In a bid to save their investment, the Somani brothers dragged Sudhir to court, claiming he had manipulated the figure of the loan he had advanced them, but court found otherwise. The Somanis relocated to Kenya in protest. Speke Hotel Speke Hotel formerly belonged to Asian businessman Ferroz Kassam. Kassam had placed a caveat on the hotel, to stop its transfer to third parties, but former Attorney General Joseph Ekemu allegedly lifted the caveat on a Saturday and the property ended up changing hands and was renamed Speke Hotel 1996 Limited. The move so infuriated Ferroz that he relocated to Tanzania. Analysts even believe the scandal heralded Ekemus political downfall. There were also rumours that he had embezzled dimes from his fellow Itesots which only gave his bosses an excuse to jail him and later dump him into the political dustbin. Namulanda Roses Horticultural Farm Our investigations reveal that the flower farm belonged to the Azur Mineral water Asian proprietor, Anis Mamdani, a brother to celebrated academician Prof Mamdan. He had picked dime from Crane Bank and failed to pay, losing the investment to the bank. So distraught the Azur Asian got, he took leave of Uganda for some years, settling in Tanzania. After he had gotten over the heartbreak, he returned to Uganda and invested in manufacturing the Azur water. Kampala Parents School MP, famed educationist and elder, Edward Kasole Bwereere started the school from scrap and turned it into a phenomenal, only to lose it to Sudhirs Crane Bank, after he failed to return loans he used to upgrade it. On losing the school, Kasoles high blood pressure understandably raised to worrying levels that he nearly lost his life. Kasole has since built another school in Mubende and his pals tell us he is very wary when it comes to borrowing money to invest in the school. Ssese Gateway Beach The proprietor we only established as Kaggwa is another old man who took money from Crane Bank and ended up losing his resort on the Lake Victoria shores. Crane Kampala main road headquarters Where stands Sudhirs powerful Crane Bank headquarters, used to stand “Amadduka gabaddugavu (the pioneer Indigenous Ugandans shops). These were renting from the Bamafutamingi who fell into things, when former President Idi Amin dished out Asian properties to his cronies and fellow moslems in the wake of his legendary 1972 Economic war declaration in1972. To acquire the land, Sudhir bought out the original Asian owners of the dilapidated shops, who had had enough of Uganda following their abrupt eviction by dictator Amin. The sitting tenants however vehemently opposed Sudhirs taker over and compensation, challenging the buy-out in High Court. The sitting tenants lost the case and many ended up losing even compensation. Sudhir razed the dilapidated premises immediately court threw out the sitting tenants’ case. In fact, as the High Court read the judgment, bulldozers were at standby at the disputed place, ready to raze the buildings. Those tenants, who were smart enough and took the money, are now some of the proud landlords of several buildings in Ntinda. Riyaz Kurji The former reputable rally driver and East and Central big time fish tycoon, borrowed money from Crane Bank and failed to pay, before he perished in a rally car accident in Mityana.

Kurjis widow Kololo pad For the departeds unpaid loans, Sudhir attempted to attach the widows multi-million rented residence in Kololo, but the commercial court thwarted him. The widow, now living in Mombasa, said Sudhir had refused to give her the details of the loan, so she could pay and redeem her house. Hashad Damani Crane Bank attached this Asians building that stands just next to Crane Banks main branch over failure to repay a reportedly Shs5bn loan. The building now houses Sudhirs Western Union section of Crane Bank. St Noa Girls School Sudhir nearly took over the Zzana based school after its owner Blasio Wasswa failed to repay the dime he took from Crane Bank. Wasswa has since died and the school is struggling to clear the loans. EMKA Located along Bombo road, the building belonged to rally driver and international businessman Emma Katto, who failed to repay loans he got from Crane Bank losing the building in the process.
