Uganda's Court of Appeal ruled that businessman Mohan Musisi Kiwanuka cannot manage his money because of brain disease. The judges said Alzheimer's damaged his thinking since 2017. His son Jordan asked courts to examine his father's mental health. The family worried about their business empire worth millions of dollars. Three judges agreed the older man needs help with his affairs.
Jordan first tried to prove his father's condition at a lower court but lost the case. He brought new medical evidence to the higher court that showed brain damage. Doctors confirmed the businessman suffers from memory loss and confusion. Family members gave sworn statements about his declining mental state. The appeal court believed this fresh proof and reversed the earlier decision.
The court ordered family members to visit Mohan and see his medical files. Relatives must hold a meeting to pick someone who can run his businesses. Judges warned they will choose a manager if the family cannot agree. The ruling protects both the sick man and his valuable property. This decision affects how Uganda handles cases about older people who lose their mental abilities.
