That girl fought land grabbers in Mityana and was on the side of the people. I know she will do a good job there,\u201d Museveni stated while addressing the nation during the occasion to celebrate&nbsp; Heroes Day.&nbsp; Nabakooba&nbsp; survived the axe which left at least 23 of her former colleagues out&nbsp; of a job . She served as&nbsp; Minister of &nbsp;ICT and national Guidance for just one year and three months \u2013 a docket which will now be taken over by another NRM loyal cadre -Dr. Chris Baryomunsi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Political analysts say- Nabakooba is among the loyal women NRM cadres Museveni has given powerful ministries to help him manage the country for the next five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at Kololo Independence grounds during the national celebrations to mark\u00a0 40 years since the first NRA\/NRM heroes were executed at Kikandwa , luwero district for their support to the bush war \u2013 Museveni took a swipe at Buganda \u2018s mailo land system\u00a0 saying it was \u201cvery bad\u201d and he doesn\u2019t know why the Baganda support it.\u00a0 It is as an evil system ,\u201d Museveni stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is Mailo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic unit of the\u00a0mailo system\u00a0is a square mile, hence the derivation of\u00a0mailo, which is also equivalent to 640 acres. The term is used in Uganda to describe a land tenure\u00a0system\u00a0that came into effect when the kingdom of\u00a0Buganda\u00a0signed an agreement with the British-administered- Uganda Protectorate there in 1900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Land scholars have variously blamed the mailo land system for among other ills- creating too many \u201cabsentee\u201d landlords, denying peasants and or bibajanja holders -their ultimate land rights , and rendering such land not viable for large\u00a0 economic projects because of the \u201ctoo many competing\u201d land interests -some which are legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, the 1995 constitution recognizes the land rights of bibanja holders \u2013 those people who stayed on land for more than 12 years unchallenged -even if&nbsp; such land has an original land owner under the &nbsp;Registration of Titles Act (RTA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For long -Museveni has been pushing for land reforms in \u00a0\u00a0Uganda and the country will be watching with keen interest how his new cabinet and the line ministers, Nabakooba and her Deputy State Minister for Lands, veteran lawyer -Sam Mayanja  will handle the land question .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New Minister of State for Lands -Advocate Mayanja has written numerous articles about the land tenure system in \u00a0Buganda and some  of his articles have turned out to be controversial. \u00a0Previously , Mengo has warned government to go slow on the land issues in \u00a0Buganda claiming that many people have been forced off their land illegally by land-grabbers .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;List of &nbsp;Ministers who were dropped from cabinet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.&nbsp;Edward Kiwanuka&nbsp; Sekandi<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.
