Prof. Badru Kateregga, founder of Kampala University, remains locked in an ongoing marital dispute with his wife, Jolly Shubaiha Kateregga. Their conflict has spread across social media platforms, capturing public attention as both parties trade serious accusations. Prof. Kateregga alleges his wife physically abused him repeatedly and forced him out of their Buziga home in Kampala. He displayed injuries on his skull, which he attributes to beatings from his wife, despite her denials of these claims.
Shubaiha accused the professor of neglecting parental duties toward their children. Prof. Kateregga rejected these accusations when speaking with reporters, pointing out that their children attend an international school where tuition for a second-grader costs $20,000. He appears most distressed about what he describes as attempts to claim ownership of property he acquired before marriage. The professor stated she wants to take over assets, including the house he purchased in 1993 during his time as Uganda's Ambassador to Saudi Arabia.
Prof. Kateregga firmly rejected claims that his wife has any right to Kampala University. He questioned how she could have helped establish the 26-year-old institution when she was only 35 years old. The university founder expressed confidence in the judicial system's ability to resolve the matter fairly. Chief of Defence Forces Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba has requested police intervention in the dispute.
