Following days of criticism and threats over the actions of popular socialites group Rich Gang splashing Money into the grave of their fallen colleague Ivan Semwanga, lawyers have come out to clarify.

Semwanga was buried on Tuesday at his ancestral home in Bugerere, Kayunga District.

Prior to his burial, an estimated Shs15 million was thrown into his grave in different currencies, ranging from dollars, Rands and Uganda shillings among many others.

Police officers were also deployed at the grave to make sure the money stays buried with the tycoon’s body.

Days later, certain players would threaten to seek a court order to break Semwanga’s grave to recover the money which they claimed was government property.

They claimed the act was in violation of the country’s rules against vandalizing of government property. They said Money is legal tender which belongs to government.

But according to Barefoot lawyers, a private law firm that provides the public with free legal information using innovative approaches, Rich Gang broke no law.

“We do not have a law that prohibits throwing money in a grave to be buried with a deceased person as a form of farewell and send off. Different people have different ways of bidding farewell to their loved ones,” Bare foot law officials told The Tower Post.

Appearing on a local television recently, Don Bahati, one of the members of the Rich Gang said their actions were meant to fulfill the desires of their deceased colleague.

“Ivan loved taking expensive drinks like champagnes and splashing money was one of his favorite games. So to show him love, we had to splash money,” he said.

“If the country thinks they are badly off, they should write to us and we shall help,” he added.
