The case highlights the risks associated with informal business administration and the complexities of marital property disputes in entrepreneurial ventures.
Ugandan lawyer and businessman Deux Tibingana, the founder of Rivonia Suites, says he has filed for dissolution of his marriage after accusing his estranged wife of locking him out of the hotel business he says he built and financed, while denying him access to its revenues for years.
Tibingana disclosed the development in a lengthy statement issued on his 49th birthday, saying he was speaking out before the court filing inevitably became public.
“I am sharing this openly today because a third-party leak of a dissolution of marriage that has been filed in court is inevitable… I won’t allow that. Not this time round.”
He described the day as marking “my third anniversary of pure survival and the permanent closure of a 28-year chapter,” adding: “I am starting a new life.”
