By Our Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The church of Uganda has expressed  gratitude to Lands Minister, Judith Nabakooba, for her guidance on how the church should streamline land management and registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 This comes after the minister’s address to the House of Bishops at their leadership retreat at Lweza Training and Conference Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nabakooba said government through the Ministry of Lands is set to make registration and issue land titles and customary certificates of ownership on land belonging to the Church of Uganda (COU).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She requested the Archbishop for a team from the Church of Uganda that she would merge with that at the Ministry of lands to see how church land across the country can be registered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have briefed my permanent secretary and the technical team that I think this is the time to help churches register their land. We will request you one thing to have your trustees\u2019 regularly updated and make annual returns for those trustees,\u201d Lands Minister Judith Nabakooba said .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In a letter dated March 19 to the minister seen by this news website, Church of Uganda Archbishop, Stephen Kazimba Mugalu conveyed his joy and appreciation to the minister for honouring their invitation to address the House of Bishops on issues concerning land in Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis interaction was an important one, especially on how the church can corporately benefit from the government. The House of Bishops was pleased and noted your pledge to build up a technical team together with the Church of Uganda that can help in mapping, surveying and carrying on land policy reviews concerning land matters of the church,\u201dKazimba\u2019s letter read in part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The archbishop revealed that such processes will enable the church to secure and put to use its vast lands being indiscriminately grabbed by land grabbers. He said the Church of Uganda looks forward to having a digital system built for proper land management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we review our land policy, any assistance in this regard, as promised will be greatly appreciated. We ask that you extend our appreciation to your team at the ministry for every effort being put in place to support the church in developing and securing its vital resource, land.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Archbishop also through the letter thanked President Museveni and the government for their long term vision on land policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that  the Church of Uganda partners with the government, they pray for transparency, integrity and accountability, which will help build trust and allow people to make informed decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
