{UAH} Sisters fighting for same MP seat

Esther Namuleme Ntwatwa and Joyce Bagala Ntwatwa come from a prominent family in Mityana District. Their grandfather, Petero Ntwatwa, was a Speaker in the Buganda Lukiiko in the 1960s.

However, the two do not see eye-to-eye because both are vying for the same parliamentary seat. The two aspirants are determined to do just about anything to have their day in the August House. However, their ambitions are tearing their family apart.

Genesis of the rivalry
Back in the clothes shop, Namuleme makes sure I understand two things. 

First, they are merely cousins, and second, she was the first to announce her intention.

"I had never seen Bagala before. Our grandmothers were co-wives and my grandfather had 59 children and 450 grandchildren. How could I have known her?"

According to Namuleme, when Petero Ntwatwa fell ill, his wedded wife (Bagala's grandmother) rejoiced that her sons would be the heirs. 

They discussed it at the old man's bedside and although he was in a coma, he probably heard them.

"When my father, who is the last born of another wife, came to see the old man, he brought a doctor who treated him. He lived for eight more years, and before his death, he wrote a new will, leaving all his property to my father."

The said property, worth billions of shillings, includes 1 square mile of land (640 acres), two large-scale coffee factories and a large maize factory. 

Naturally, the ensuing bitter rivalry split the family, with the others accusing Namuleme's father (Kabanda Ntwatwa) of selling off some of the property.
