Following the arrest of Vivian Birungi Chebet the wife to SK Mbuga, over charges of money laundering, reports emerging indicate that there is a bitter feud raging on between socialite and fashionista Hakim Kibirigge aka Kim Swagga and the families a of the embattled couple.
We have learnt that there are some allegations that Kim Swagga was used to track down Birungi in Kampala, after the celebrated h fashionista fell out with the couple some time back.
Sources reveal that Kim Swagga wanted some good money from Mbuga and Birungi after they struck a deal together but they it refused to give it to him.
Snoops intimate that since then Kim Swagga had always wished for a way to make the couple payback.
An insider reveals that Kim Swagga was left saddened after the couple splashed close to Shs1Bn on their wedding yet they had refused to pay him.
Originally Kim Swagga was a family friend and was very close to Birungi’s brother Sam Mukasa.
Through that closeness, he managed to secure all details about Birungi’s Swedish pensioner lover Sten Heisoo.
It is also revealed that Kim managed to contact the Muzungu and divulged all the details.
The Muzungu sent a team that worked closely with Kim and gathered all the information and picture evidence for all the properties the couple owned in Kampala.
Snoops reveal that Kim booked the team into Sheraton Hotel after which he was paid well for the work.
Later, after finalizing his mission, Kim briefly flew to the USA where he cooled off for some months before returning recently to work on the mission to have Birungi tracked and get arrested.
Sources have intimated to us that after Birungi’s arrest, both families of the couple are secretly grumbling and vowing to teach Kim a lesson he will never forget for being a mole in the Mbuga family.
We have established Kim is no longer Seeing Eye to an eye with even Mukasa, who was his tight buddy.
Meanwhile, we have since learnt that the Police are working with their counterparts in Sweden and prosecutors are expected from Sweden to work out modalities of extraditing Birungi, who is currently under detention at the Interpol offices.
Meanwhile Mbuga is currently caged in Denmark over a USD2.6m (about Shs9.5b) gold scam.
He was extradited from Dubai where he’d spent a year at Awir Prison after being arrested in the United Arab Emirates in early 2018 over fraud involving Dubai and Oman based businessmen.
