Elvis Sekyanzi Wavamunno, the proprietor of Silk Events and son to tycoon Gordon Wavamunno is reportedly sent to Luzira prison over failure to service outstanding debts totaling to USD 230,000 (over USh830 million) and USh31 million.
According to latest reports we received, the arrest arise from Civil Suit No. 225 of 2016 that was filed by creditor Mash Investments Limited, accusing Sekyanzi and Silk Liquid of failing to refund USD230,661 and USh31,800,000.
In December, 2021, the Commercial Court issued the warrant of arrest against Sekyanzi after he failed to honor the Court decree that ordered him in February, 2021 to pay Mash Investments Limited the above-mentioned amounts, together with unspecified amount of money for the cost of executing the process.
“You are hereby commanded to arrest the said judgement debtor and unless he pays to you the said sum of of $230,661 and Shs31, 800,000 together with shillings…… for the cost of executing this process, to bring the said judgment debtor before the court with all convenient speed,” the Deputy Registrar said in the arrest warrant dated 24 November, 2021.
Now, after failing to comply with all the above and slapped with an arrest warrant, he was finally arrested this week and aligned before Commercial Court yesterday that sent him to Luzira for six months and if this period elapses without clearing the debts, he will be likely to lose some of his properties.
