Two families claim ownership of the contested land that has over 50 bibanja holders dwelling on it with farms and homes. \u00a0 <br><br>Ms Namatovu Mastula who represented the late George Wilson Lubega (the rightful owner) their \u00a0father said ever since their father died five years ago, Mzee Mukiibi Katende Ezekia has been \u00a0terrorising them and threating to evict them from their land. \u00a0 She said Mzee Mukiibi had entered into an agreement with their father to help him process the land \u00a0title \u00a0and compensate him with 4acres of land to pay for the expenses since he did not have \u00a0money to do the process. \u00a0 <br><br>\u201cHe then took it upon himself to grab the entire land after our father died. He is riding on our poverty \u00a0to oppress us. We have the land title of this land, let him bring his as well,\u201d she said. But Mzee Mukiibi claimed the late Lubega\u2019s family members asked him to give them money to transfer the land title which he did to assume ownership of 38 acres. \u00a0<br><br> When he was asked to provide the documentation to this effect, Mzee Mukiibi only had photocopy documents to present to the minister which she said were not adding up. Swaib Nyombi the LC.1 Chairman of the village confessed that he did not know about the transactions on the disputed land until Mzee Mukiibi reported the matter to the LCs. <br><br>\u00a0 \u201cI suggested to him to buy off these people because they were willing to sell. He does not have \u00a0original documents to support his ownership of the land.\u201d<br><br> The Minister asked Mzee Mukiibi to bring \u00a0original documents to her office next week and halt \u00a0all undertakings on the land as the matter \u00a0is being investigated. \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cLet us enter \u00a0a caveat on this land. All we want is fairness and equity. We shall verify these \u00a0documents from my ministry and subject them to a handwriting expert to establish their authenticity. \u00a0We are going to look into this matter exhaustively and return in two weeks,\u201d the Minister told the meeting . \u00a0<br><br> Nabakooba cautioned the locals on carrying out land negotiations with people whose names don\u2019t appear on the land titles which makes them lose money to fraudsters \u201cbafelle\u201d. \u00a0 Other administrative directives issued by the Minister to calm nerves included instructing Mzee \u00a0Mukiibi to withdrawal his private security guards , not to erect any fixtures on the land until investigations \u00a0are completed.<br><br><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Lands Minister Judith Nabakooba has intervened in a brewing row over a52 acres piece of land in Nsangabwami Village, Kikandwa<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4422,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[65,179],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4421","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","category-land"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/IMG-20211027-WA0298.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6936,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/lands-minister-nabakooba-warns-landlords-against-grabbing-governemt-unoccupied-land-directs-on-contested-land-in-mityana\/","url_meta":{"origin":4421,"position":0},"title":"LANDS MINISTER NABAKOOBA WARNS LANDLORDS AGAINST GRABBING GOVERNEMT UNOCCUPIED LAND, DIRECTS ON CONTESTED LAND IN MITYANA","author":"UgandaUpdate","date":"October 16, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"By Our Reporter In Mityana Lands Minister Judith Nabakooba has warned landlords not to grab government\u2019s unoccupied land and selling it to unsuspecting members of the public .
