Kampala businessman Peter Kamya has been pronounced dead by his lawyer on Friday morning.
Kamya’s lawyer Robert Friday Kagoro of Muwema and Co Advocates confirmed his death.
“He has been sick for sometime. He was first admitted at Nakasero Hospital some days ago before he was referred to Nairobi about two days ago.” Said Kagoro as quoted by Daily Monitor
Kamya, an architect by profession, is the former owner of Ssimbamannyo House in Kampala city center and Afrique Suites in Mutungo.
The businessman has since 2020 been locked in a property battle with Equity Bank, with the latter accusing his Simbamanyo Estates company of failure to service a $8.1m (Shs29.83b) loan facility.
The Court of Appeal in October this year temporarily halted proceedings in the case in which the company was challenging the sale of mortgaged property by the bank, pending the determination of the substantive application for stay of the same.
