Lands Minister Judith Nabakooba has assured residents in Kagadi districts that no bibanja landholders will be evicted by agents of absentee landlords. \u00a0 Minister Nabakooba\u2019s assurances follow growing tension about residents of Kagadi who are threatened by evictions orchestrated by unscrupulous people claiming to be landlords. \u00a0

Nabakooba \u00a0was presiding over the Women\u2019s Day celebrations in Kagadi District held at Mabaale playground \u00a0in Mabaale Town Council Kagadi District under the theme \u2018Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality\u2019. \u00a0 \u201cThe government has established systematic land demarcation and has compensated all landlords to ensure \u00a0that Ugandans can settle on land permanently.\u201d \u00a0

The minister said her ministry is working hard to ensure that all bibanja holders in Kagadi are supported \u00a0to acquire full ownership of their land by getting land titles. \u00a0

\u201cOver 1,600 land titles will be handed over to the locals in the coming month of May\u201d Nabakooba told the gathering amid jubilations. \u00a0

Ms Janepher Kyomuhendo Mbabazi, the Kagadi Woman Member of Parliament explained to the minister that for some time, they (local leaders) have been making several attempts to end the eviction threats in the district .

She asked the minister to expedite the process of issuing land titles so that people can work for prosperity \u00a0without fear of being evicted. \u00a0

Kagadi District Deputy RDC, Benjamin Tumusiime reported hat his office has four court orders asking them to evict people. He asked the minister to swiftly intervene and save the people who are at the verge of losing their land. \u00a0

Nabakooba however asked the office of the RDC not to implement the land eviction court orders saying that \u00a0the president has put a ban on evictions and that no one should be evicted from their land. \u00a0

The Minister highlighted the barriers affecting women, especially in the struggle to create wealth. She said women have been barred by cultures to engage in gainful employment to fight poverty and in some cases denied the right to own land which is a big factor of production . \u00a0 \u00a0

She condemned land fragmentation and urged families to work together, engage in modern agriculture and share profits. \u00a0 \u201cEmbrace the four-acre model and the intensive farming as guided by President Yoweri Museveni.

This model works well even when one has a small piece of land especially those in urban settings. It is closely linked to urban farming and the Parish Development Model,\u201d she said. \u00a0

Ms Florence Kugonza, the chairperson Women Council, Kagadi District said that they have been facing several challenges including lack of transport to mobilize women to engage in wealth creation programmes.

She called upon the government to think about facilitating the women councils so that they can effectively serve the nation. \u00a0

Minister Nabakooba also paid a courtesy visit to African Rural University, an all-women\u2019s university in \u00a0Rural Transformation. \u00a0She met with Dr Mwalimu Mushehse, the University\u2019s founder and Vice Chancellor.

Dr Mwalimu explained \u00a0how women have reasons to celebrate the day because they have for long been marginalized and their being somewhere now has been greatly spearheaded by the NRM government.
