State House Blocks MP Kakooza in Lubowa land debate

The State House Land Department has hindered Uganda’s delegate toward the East African Legislative Assembly-EALA, James Kakooza from crushing property and doing advancements on a contested real estate parcel in Lubowa.

It comes days after police hindered Kakooza from wrecking property on the contested land in Kyeyagalire town in Lubowa in Waksio area. Police held the administrator momentarily at Lubowa police headquarters on claims of noxious and delivered him on bond. Presently, Susan Abbo, the Senior Private Secretary to the President and top of the land division has coordinated Kakooza to “stop all his expected exercises on the combative land, until this matter is at long last discarded in official courtrooms.”

The office interceded following an appeal by Kakooza’s neighbor Gertrude Nalweyiso, on November 9. Nalweyiso blames Kakooza for getting land that incorporates the entry to her home.

The debate began on October 31, 2021, when Kakooza conveyed a farm truck to obliterate the border divider that Nalweyiso says went about as the limit among her and Kakooza’s property. The contested land estimating 0.22 sections of land is found behind Roofing Uganda Limited.

State House authorities visited the land during the week. On November 12 Abbo introduced her discoveries to Nalweyiso and Kakooza’s delegates. Kakooza didn’t go to the gathering that was held at 4 pm. In her report, which our journalist has seen, Abbo noticed that her group associated with Kakooza and requested that he produce the deal understanding and land title. The group likewise connected with one Simpson Murungi who offered land to Kakooza who said, “At the hour of offering his property to Hon. Kakooza, the land was at that point fenced with a border divider, and that he asks why Hon. Kakooza needs to upset Ms. Nalweyiso Getrude’s serene stay on their kibanja since they tracked down them there.”

Abbo says Murungi let her group know that he sold Kakooza land estimating 68 feet by 68 feet that were at that point fenced. She said that except if proof is purchased to show that the official had purchased a kibanja that had more land, there is no reason for him to guarantee what is past the land he purchased.

Murungi encourages Kakooza to turn around and work inside the size of the land that he appropriately procured. Abbo told Uganda Radio Network-URN that “I have not halted Hon. Kakooza from completing exercises inside the 68 feet by 68 feet real estate parcel. He should avoid property past that estimation.”

She noticed that while Kakooza introduced a land title to guarantee part of Nalweyiso’s property, Abbo says it goes against the estimations in the deal arrangement for the kibanja. “The deal understanding is the country title at the Buganda Land Board and that is the thing that we should all regard,” she said.

Nalweyiso has invited Abbo’s discoveries and orders, saying. “This is reasonable and we trust that Kakooza will consent.” She says Kakooza’s response to the report will decide her next game-plan. “On the off chance that he consents, we will close this matter. On the off chance that he stays obstinate and demands getting my property we will go to court.”

Kakooza says the “State House land office has no ward on private land so in case anyone is abused they ought to go to court.” He adds the State House lands unit ought to likely work with the complainant to go to court.

Prior, Kakooza let our correspondent know that he purchased the land from somebody who held the title from 1991 yet Nalweyiso said she had been on the land starting around 1992. “I have a land title yet she has not introduced hers. Thus, whoever asserts, should demonstrate and when you don’t demonstrate then, at that point, those are bits of hearsay,” he said.

Nalweyiso clarifies that Kakooza who professed to have reviewed his property on February 25, 2021, didn’t include her during the study practice yet when she applied for a rent title from Buganda Land Board-BLB for the land close to Kakooza’s plot her neighbors marked the study report. She says that she is yet to get a title in the wake of finishing installment of Shillings 12.4 Million to the BLB.
