A number of wikilinks in this article are unnecessary, distracting or misleading.

For example, the sentence: "He [[passionately]] talks about [[success]] but in a way curses [[failure]] by [[human beings]]" links to:

I think readers would know what these four words mean, and linking to an article about each of them does not seem to add any value. There are many other instances. — Hebrides (talk) 10:20, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Court Battle section

At AfD it was suggested thatches section might be pruned. I have indented it one heading level and pasted it below:

Court Battle

[edit]

In February 2020, Kiggundu dragged Africa's Diamond Trust Bank to court[1] for allegedly defrauding over 30 Million United States dollars (Ush29.035B and $22.93M) from his shillings and dollar accounts under what he called unclear debits from his bank accounts over a spread period of 10 years[2].

In two separate letters to the bank, Kiggundu, who had been accessing loan facilities from DTB for over 10 years, issued a notice to the bank terminating his relationship and withdrawing the mortgage instruments.

In another letter dated January 10, 2020, he demanded that the bank hands over his land titles within five days and warned of legal action if the bank failed to do as asked. Subsequently, on January 10 this year, Kiggundu, through his companies, Ham Enterprises Limited and Kiggs International (U) Limited, dragged Diamond Trust Bank Uganda and Diamond Trust Bank Kenya to the Commercial Division[3] of the High Court[3] seeking an order of recovery and return of all the monies “unlawfully, unjustly and unfairly debited or recovered” from his company accounts[4].

He also sought court injunctive orders[5] “restraining the defendants and their representatives, nominees or assignees from attaching, selling, transferring and/or interfering with the plaintiff’s legal interests and physical possession of the suit properties, on account of any alleged debt and or accrued interest.”

Other reasons for the application[6][disambiguation needed] include a declaration that the defendants (DTB UG and DTB Kenya[7]) “jointly and severally acted in breach of contractual, fiduciary and statutory duties during the subsistence of bank-customer and contractual relationship” with his company.[8]

The case is currently ongoing in court, under hearing as of June 2020.

Trading Debut and Voyage

[edit]

The Ham Group was established in 2005 as a small trading enterprise trading in garments. Hamis used to support his father Hajji. Segawa in his textile shop from where he learnt basic business principles[1]and during middle school holidays his father gave him capital to start his own venture.[2][3]He used his father’s textile background and learnt experience; started buying garments, ladies’ bags and other textiles from large importing wholesalers and selling them in Kampala. As his margins grew, he began to get directly from international markets and became a firsthand importer who could distribute his merchandise at wholesale in the entire East African Community member countries.[4]As business burgeoned, he started buying and selling land and properties and In 2009 he incorporated Ham Enterprises (U) Ltd and advanced to constructing and owning commercial properties.[5] In 2010, Kiggundu started erection of Ham towers, his first commercial tower at the Makerere suburb of Kampala city. According to billionaires.Africa, having mastered the commercial real estate trifles with reference to lessons learnt from his first project, Kiggundu was able to move a bit faster and within 18 months, he had built his second property — Ham Shopping Mall.[2] With combined rental income coming from both properties, he was able to easily secure more financing with the banks, for other projects given his reasonable collateral.[6][7][3]

The Group diversified into large scale industrialization in 2021, mainly focusing on Agro-processing and value addition. According to the Forbes report on Uganda By Penresa, Hamis embarked on a US$156 million project in the central region where a pilot advanced Integrated Agro-Processing Industrial Plant (IAIP) was setup at Akright City to add value on Uganda's Agro produce.[7][8]

Inquiry Regarding Reverted Edits on Hamis Kiggundu Article

[edit]

Dear User:Davey2010 ,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inquire about the recent reversion of the edits to the Wikipedia article on Hamis Kiggundu. As a contributor who strives to improve the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia content, I am keen to understand the specific reasons why the contributions of over 3 years were reverted. I think that is a whole lot of information to be reverted on such an article.

Thank you very much for your time and response in advance.

Best regards, Micheal Kaluba (talk) 16:58, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute Over Reversion of the Hamis Kiggundu Article to a 2021 Version

[edit]

Hello wikipedia contributors and volunteers,

I am writing to address a significant issue regarding the recent reversion of the Hamis Kiggundu article to a version from 2021 (3 Year Old Version)by editor Davey2010 This reversion has removed three years' worth of valuable edits and updates, which I believe contradicts several Wikipedia policies and principles.

The reversion removed crucial updates such as:

  • A detailed chronological summary of a significant lawsuit and its resolution, with reliable sources.
  • A comprehensive history of Hamis Kiggundu’s business journey.
  • Information about his philanthropic efforts, like the donation of 100,000 Royal Palm Trees to the Kampala Capital City Authority, verified by government sources ([1]).
  • Achievements such as the redevelopment. Presidential commissioning and grand opening of Nakivubo Stadium, acknowledged by multiple credible sources ([2], [3], [4]).
  • Establishment of innovative industries like integrated agro-processing and Ham Agro Bank.
  • Development of Ham Palm Villas and other significant contributions.
  • Removal of the subject's picture from the infobox and other media in the body, significantly reducing the article's quality and accuracy.

These updates align with Wikipedia’s aim to provide accurate, neutral, and reliable information. The reversion violates several Wikipedia policies:

  1. Consensus: The reversion did not follow the principle of consensus-building (Wikipedia:Consensus).
  2. Edit warring: The repeated reversion without attempting to resolve the disagreement through discussion is a form of edit warring (Wikipedia:Edit warring).
  3. Assume good faith: Assuming bad faith without proper evidence or discussion contradicts the policy (Wikipedia:Assume good faith).
  4. Ownership of content: Acting as if they own the article by reverting to a preferred version without consensus (Wikipedia:Ownership of content).
  5. Disruptive editing: Removing significant contributions made over three years is disruptive (Wikipedia:Disruptive editing).
  6. Purpose and Five Pillars: The reversion contradicts Wikipedia's purpose and five pillars by restricting information and lacking fairness (Wikipedia:Purpose, Wikipedia:Five pillars).

Rationale Concerns:

  • Lack of Justification: The reversion by Davey2010 to a 2021 state by Timtrent lacks justification despite substantial updates and developments well-documented by reliable sources.
  • Criteria and Policy Compliance: The criteria or Wikipedia policies followed for such a significant reversion are unclear, raising concerns about adherence to Wikipedia’s guidelines.
  • Undermining Wikipedia Etiquette: Labeling significant contributions as promotional without neutral review undermines the spirit of collaboration and respect among contributors.
  • Bias and Impact on Research: The reversion appears biased, affecting researchers’ access to free, reliable information, which undermines Wikipedia’s integrity.

Furthermore, the removed edits had been written in a manner similar to that of existing articles about notable individuals. For instance, business journey section is comparable to that of Aliko Dangote. Does this mean that Aliko Dangote's business journey should also be removed for being promotional? Additionally, the pages of fellow entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg include several pictures and media throughout the body, with their content referenced from reliable sources. Does this imply that content from these pages should also be removed and reverted to earlier stages for being promotional, as done by editor Davey2010 to the Hamis Kiggundu article?

Given these points, it raises the question of whether there is an undisclosed bias against the subject. I propose the following steps:

  1. Restoration of the article: Restore the article to its most recent state before reversion.
  2. Addressing specific concerns: Any issues regarding promotional contributions or neutrality can be reviewed and addressed appropriately by a non biased or non conflicted party once the recent version is restored.
  3. Neutral mediation: Request a neutral third-party mediator from the Wikipedia Mediation Committee or an experienced administrator to review this case and ensure a fair resolution.

I believe a neutral mediator can help resolve this dispute in a manner that aligns with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, ensuring the article remains accurate, neutral, and reliable.

Thank you for your consideration and assistance in this matter. 197.239.9.2 (talk) 04:24, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Hamis Kiggundu (born 1984), commonly known as Ham,[1][2] is a Ugandan businessman, lawyer and author. He is the CEO of the Ham Group of Companies, and has written two books Success and Failure Based on Reason and Reality (2018) and Reason as the World Masterpiece (2021).[3] As of 2024, Kiggundu is among the richest Ugandans by networth.

Background and early life

[edit]

Kiggundu was born in 1984 in the Kalungu Masaka District in the Central Region of Uganda. Kiggundu is the son of Haruna Segawa, who is part of a family with extensive property investments in Kampala.[4]

Kiggundu was born and raised in a Muslim family. He talks about Islam as "the highest achievement of a lifetime".[5]

Education

[edit]

He attended his elementary education in Masaka, joined Kabojja International School in Kampala District for his high school education and later graduated from Makerere University with a Bachelors of Laws.[6]

Nakivubo Stadium redevelopment

[edit]

In 2015, President Museveni on behalf of the Uganda government entered into a PPP arrangement with Kiggundu to redevelop and upgrade Nakivubo Stadium into a modern sports facility.[7][8][9]

In early 2017, the reconstruction of Nakivubo Stadium commenced with demolishment of existing structures[10][8] paving the way for the initiation of new construction works. The renovation expanded the seating capacity from 30,000 to 35,000 and added modern facilities.[11][12][13]

Nakivubo stadium was commissioned by Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on 25 April 2024.[14] During the commissioning ceremony, President Museveni praised Hamis Kiggundu for his forward-thinking development strategies.[15] He also assured government support for Kiggundu's ventures in the Ham Agro-Processing Industries, highlighting a commitment to nurturing local entrepreneurial efforts that contribute to national progress.[16][17] President Museveni disclosed that Hamis Kiggundu (Ham) was granted a 49-year lease on the stadium.[18] This arrangement allows Ham to recover his investment in the construction and any profits earned before the government decides on whether to take over management or renew the lease with Ham.[19]

Philanthropy

[edit]

In April 2020 Kiggundu donated food relief to Uganda's COVID-19 task force.[20] He also donated food supplies to over 100 Ugandan journalists through the Uganda Journalists Association,[21] but was also criticized for providing cash handouts to journalists.[22]

In July 2021, Kiggundu donated to the Uganda Government a total of USh 530 million to help in the purchase COVID-19 vaccine doses for Ugandans and additionally called upon other able Ugandans and corporate entities to join him in saving lives as a way of giving back to the Ugandan Community.[23][24][25]

In January 2024, Hamis Kiggundu contributed to urban environmental enhancement by donating 100,000 Royal palm trees to the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA).[26] To ensure successful planting, a team of his staff was deployed to assist KCCA in planting these trees along the streets of Kampala. This initiative was part of a broader greening campaign, underscoring Kiggundu's commitment to fostering a cleaner, greener, and more aesthetically pleasing cityscape.[27]

Lawsuit

[edit]

In February 2020, Kiggundu sued Africa's Diamond Trust Bank for allegedly defrauding him for over US$30 million (USh 34.29 billion and US$23.4 million) under what he called "unclear debits" from his bank accounts over a spread period of ten years.[28]

In October 2020, Kiggundu won the case and the Ugandan High Court ordered Diamond Trust Bank to refund all the unlawfully withdrawn monies totaling to UGX 34.29 billion and USD 23.4 million,[29][30] with an additional 8% interest for legal costs.[31] The court additionally ordered the bank to unconditionally release/discharge all mortgages allegedly created over all Kiggundu's properties and all corporate and personal guarantees issued by Kiggundu.
DTB Bank later appealed the decision in the High Court and were issued an injunction halting payment of the monies.[32]

In November 2023, This long-standing financial and legal dispute with Diamond Trust Bank was amicably resolved. Ham and Nasim Devji, the group CEO of Diamond Trust Bank Group reached a mutual agreement in a private meeting to drop all court cases.[33][34]

Awards and Recognition

[edit]

In 2018 Kiggundu was given an award as an acknowledgement for his book, Success and Failure Based on Reason and Reality. It was nominated the best book of the year in the category of "Business Motivation" at an event held by the Book Forum of Uganda in Kampala.[35]

In 2023, Hamis Kiggundu was awarded the "African Renaissance & Iconic Development Entrepreneur Award" by the Pan-African Pyramid Global Awards for his significant contributions to Africa's economic development and his influential entrepreneurial efforts in Africa.[36]

In February 2024, Hamis Kiggundu received the Special Presidential Recognition Award from Hon. Minsa Kabanda, Minister for Kampala Capital City Authority and Metropolitan Affairs. This award, presented by the Office of the President, honored his dedicated service and significant contributions to the social and economic development of Kampala, particularly benefiting disadvantaged communities.[37]

In June 2024, Hamis received a Professional Doctorate in Global Leadership and Management from the European International University. This recognition honored his dedication, hard work, and significant contributions to social, economic, and corporate sectors, as well as his efforts in expanding his organization internationally.[38] [39]

 Comment: The Forbes pdf has all the hallmarks of paid placement or placed PR material. The source lacks reliability and the material is self generated. I make no comment on the other sources. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:44, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done The Forbes element is useless as a reference, and the snippet needs to be rewritten. No-one is going to add praise for the subject, nor glorification. We report on what is said, we do not embellish it. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:13, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
