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

The Minister for Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Judith Nabakooba, has resolved land conflicts in some parts of Rakai district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Ssalongo Kayiija Sam, a resident of Kakenkeke village, Lwamaggwa parish, residents in the area were being forced off their land after two men \u2013 identified as Kimbowa Joseph and Ssekiito Julius \u2013 claimed to occupancy of the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne village chairperson, Charles Kato, was approached by two men who wanted to do fish farming in our village. He promised to give people jobs and thereafter made us sign on forms that made us lose administrative powers over our land,\u201d he narrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Kimbowa and Ssekiito were not available for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Lulagala village, Bugoma parish, there was a dispute over a piece of land between the settlers and the land owner. Mubiru John, a resident familiar with the matter, said Fred Kibuule, the proprietor, demanded the settlers to buy from him the pieces of land they resided on, something the people were not in agreement with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople are being forced off the lands they have resided on for years. Most have only known this place as their home. The option of them buying themselves out isn\u2019t viable because they have no money,\u201d Mubiru said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kibuule however denied ever forcing people off the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur intention wasn\u2019t to force the people off the land. We just wanted them to be able to own land formally,\u201d he said. Other areas that hand land wrangles include: Ganda Bbaale parish, Kibanda sub-county and Kyakago, Kasese in Kakinga parish. Both areas hand the same land titles for the same pieces of land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Resolutions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While addressing residents, Lands Minister Nabalooba resolved that area land committees need to be reviewed to avoid future land conflicts. In Kakenkeke village, the minister ordered that all area committee members be arrested and charged. She also resolved that the land title in the area be caveated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have a challenged of weak area land committees. They only care about what they are to gain. These need to be reviewed to avoid future land problems,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nabakooba also advised are local councils to be vigilant when it comes to land issues in their area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArea local leaders need to be extremely careful. I urge you to take your time when approached by anyone about land in your area. Ask for help were need be,\u201d she said adding that, \u201csome land proprietors are taking advantage of settlers who have been on their land for a long time. This is because some are ignorant about what the law says.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister expressed the need to hear out the voice of such people who she says in most cases find themselves being taken advantage of. Ssemwanga Gyaviira, Member of Parliament (MP), Buyamba constituency, reassured the residents that their land is safe from grabbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs one of the leaders in the area, my primary concern to ensure that people in my constituency have their rights respected. We shall not tolerate any kind of injustices in our area,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juliet Ssuubi Kinyamatama, Woman MP, Rakai district, acknowledged the need by local council chairpersons to be vigilant. She also said people\u2019s voices need to be amplified in the face of injustice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
