Holding and result

The court found, based on uncontroverted medical evidence from Dr. Tom Onen, that Rhona Kibuka Musoke is a person of unsound mind.

The court granted the application, appointing the applicants jointly as managers, but imposed statutory restrictions on their powers regarding immovable property and investments. The managers are required to file an inventory within six months and annual accounts thereafter. Unless otherwise ordered, they shall serve gratuitously. The orders are intended to protect the interests of Rhona Kibuka Musoke and ensure proper administration of her estate.
