The issues only arose recently during the COVID-19 lockdown,\u201d Kawere said.<\/p>\n<p>He alleged that encroachment began in 2020 and claimed that reports to local authorities and the Resident District Commissioner did not yield action.<\/p>\n<p>Kawere also told investigators that court orders had been issued halting development on the land, but construction activities reportedly continued despite the directive.<\/p>\n<p>Masajja Division Chairperson John Baptist Kiyaga denied parts of the allegations against him but acknowledged noticing new developments on the disputed property.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is true I saw new houses which were not there before, but I support the church to be helped and this matter resolved fairly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Following submissions, Atwine raised concern over continued activity on the land despite a court order, warning that the actions amounted to contempt of court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat is happening here is unacceptable. Continuing construction on land under a court order amounts to contempt of court,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She also pointed to possible corruption in the handling of the matter, pledging wider investigations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are clear indicators of corruption in this matter, and we are going to investigate all individuals involved,\u201d Atwine added.<\/p>\n<p>Atwine ordered an immediate halt to all land-related transactions on the disputed property and directed officials to submit all documentation linked to the case for review.<\/p>\n<p>During an inspection, LC1 Chairperson Samuel Lule was questioned over his role in approving transactions, but he claimed he was not acting alone and implicated one Joseph Lukyamuzi in the alleged sales.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities inspected several structures said to have been erected during the dispute, although some occupants declined to comment.<\/p>\n<p>The President is expected to issue further guidance after reviewing all reports from the involved offices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Uganda<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
