Tycoon Ivan Ssemwanga’s death in May could also have signalled the ‘death’ of the annual ‘Rich Gang Party’ and even when his associates Eddie Cheune, King Lawrence and Prince MJ tried their all best to circumvent this fact they have finally been humbled by life.
Without giving any reason, they have reportedly called off this year’s party, which was earlier scheduled for December 19 and according to a source close to the trio this is because of financial constraints.
Apparently, Cheune tried to solicit for a loan from socialite Sulaiman Kabangala (SK) Mbuga but his efforts didn’t bear any fruit. Cheune currently lives in Dubai with Mbuga.
“Breaking news: The rich gang members have decided to cancel the ug don memorial party this year due to some reasons we can’t state at the moment. Sorry for the inconvenience until next year,” Prince MJ confirmed.
However, a friend to King Lawrence said that the party had been called off over immigration issues, following the reported confiscation of King Lawrence’s passport over fraud related charges. The passport is reportedly still being held by immigration officials.
And sources said it’s the reason why King Lawrence never buried his cousin Ssemwanga, only to arrive in the country days later by road.
