Judith Nabakooba ordered for the arrest of the hitherto untouchable District Land Board Secretary, Hadijah |Sebyala and also suspended the operations of the board to allow thorough investigations in the rampant cases of mismanagement in land transactions. Hundreds of people have been deprived of their land due  to alleged fraudulent land transaction involving officials of the Buikwe District Land Board who connive with land grabbers to terrorise residents especially bibanja holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td>\u00a0 Sebyala\u2019s arrest followed \u00a0Minister Nabakooba\u2019s visit in Buikwe \u00a0where residents \u00a0Bugoba C and Kidadili villages \u00a0in Njeru Town Council Buikwe through their area woman MP Diana Mutasingwa raised an alarm about heightened tensions \u00a0caused by illegal evictions of bibanja land holders in the area. \u00a0<br><br> Sebyala who was accused of\u00a0 aiding land grabbing in the district , failed to explain why there were numerous irregularities \u00a0in land transactions. She also failed to provide documents for the disputed\u00a0 land prompting the Minister to order for her immediate arrest . \u00a0 A visibly irritated Nabakooba wondered\u00a0 why the land officials who were summoned for the meeting turned up without the necessary documentation to help resolve the many reported cases of shoddy land transactions.<br><br> \u201c When we called them for this meeting they should have come prepared with all the relevant documentation to help settle these matters . Instead ,they thought it was business as usual .The secretary was notified about the meeting three days ago but she had the audacity to simply walk to the meeting without a single document,\u201d the Minister stated . <br><br>\u00a0\u201cI want to give way to the investigations because if somebody says they don\u2019t know where documents are, then we are in a dilemma. How can you give out public land and claim \u00a0not to have access to documents?\u201d Nabakooba wondered. \u00a0 Nabakooba tasked the district leaders to make sure that all documents pertaining to public land that has been illegally sold off is obtained to allow for proper investigations to be carried and the culprits \u00a0brought to book. \u00a0 At Bugoba Cells A and C in Nyenga, the minister thanked the CAO for having placed a caveat \u00a0on public land that was illegally sold off . \u00a0<br><br> The Minister called for the registration of all bibanja holders because in an initiative that has been \u00a0rolled out\u00a0 by government\u00a0 in a concerted effort to stop land grabbing and illegal eviction of the masses across the country . \u00a0 Nabakooba assured the residents who turned up that all titles which were issued fruduelently will be Cancelled .\u201cI am happy you have a hospital, school and church on this land. When the cancellation process \u00a0is finalized new \u00a0land titles will be issued because these facilities benefit \u00a0our \u00a0 people . \u00a0<br><br> The Buikwe Woman MP Diana Mutasingwa who also doubles as the state Minister in the office of the \u00a0Vice President\u00a0 thanked Nabakooba for intervening to address the wide spread \u00a0land problem in Buikwe district. \u00a0 \u00a0 Mutsangwa pledged to work with the Lands Minister to end the land conflicts in Buikwe. <br><br>Hon.Jimmy Lwanga, the MP Njeru Municipality accused the district land boards of rampant corruption , incompetence and causing insecurity in area . \u00a0 <br><br>\u201c We have cases where a piece of land has over six different titles. In Njeru we have \u00a0over 100 titles that should be cancelled because they were issued irregularly . All these land boards \u00a0should be investigated and government stand firm to decisively deal with the problem of shoddy land transactions involving ministry of lands registrars and district land boards,\u201d Lwanga said. \u00a0<br><br> He added: \u201cWe also want an amendment in the law. If a person does not have a kibanja on the \u00a0public land he or she should not request for a land title. This way, we shall be free from conmen and land grabbers.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/u\/0\/settings\/storage?hl=en&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_source=gmail&amp;utm_campaign=storage_meter&amp;utm_content=storage_high\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a> \u00a0<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/gmail\/about\/policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The residents of Buikwe jubilated when the Minister of Lands ,Housing and Urban Development Hon.
