Edith Nakalema Speaks Out on Stellah Nantumbwe Marriage Dispute
A new controversy surrounding former Miss Uganda Stellah Nantumbwe’s marriage has emerged after a senior government official publicly appealed to her over allegations involving property belonging to her former husband.
Edith Nakalema, the head of the State House Investors Protection Unit, addressed the matter during an interview, claiming that Nantumbwe left her marital home with belongings belonging to her ex-husband, Bukenya Saidi.
Nakalema urged the former beauty queen to reconsider the situation and return the items, saying she believes the matter can still be resolved.
Nakalema Makes Public Appeal
During the interview, Nakalema directly addressed Nantumbwe, asking her to reflect on the situation and make peace.
She claimed that after the relationship between Nantumbwe and Saidi ended, the former beauty queen allegedly left with property from their home.
According to Nakalema, the couple had once chosen each other and involved their families in the relationship, making it important to handle the separation respectfully.
She appealed to Nantumbwe to reconsider her position and return what she described as her former husband’s belongings.
“Return the Man’s Belongings”
Nakalema’s remarks carried a strong emotional message as she encouraged reconciliation rather than conflict.
She said she hoped Nantumbwe would choose to resolve the matter and avoid a situation where one person feels wronged.
Her comments sparked conversation because they involved two recognizable figures connected to Uganda’s public space.
However, the allegations made by Nakalema have not been independently confirmed, and Nantumbwe has not publicly responded to the claims.
