Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Ms Anita Among, has set up a committee to investigate the deepening and dragging controversy surrounding the Nakawa-Naguru estate land.<\/p>\n

Ms Among, who chaired the plenary sitting yesterday, invoked Rule 191 to nominate a nine-member committee that will report back to Parliament in two weeks.<\/p>\n

The committee will be chaired by Mr Dan Atwijukire (Kazo County).<\/p>\n

Other members are Dan Kimosho, Agnes Apea, Anthony Akol, Aisha Kabanda, Asuman Basalirwa, Jonathan Ebwalu, Dickson Kateshumbwa, Sarah Opendi and Ritah Atukwasa.<\/p>\n

Ms Among said the Naguru-Nakawa land feud has highlighted weaknesses in the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, and the Uganda Lands Commission.<\/p>\n

Twist in Nakawa-Naguru estate land controversy<\/p>\n

\u201cI have noted with concern the fight related to the Naguru-Nakawa land\u2026The land has been parcelled and is being cleared without these conflicts being resolved. It is a shame. It is time we embarked on our oversight mandate to root out these vices from the operation of government departments and agencies,\u201d Ms Among said.<\/p>\n

The Bukedea District Woman MP\u2019s decision comes five days after State Minister for Lands, Mr Sam Mayanja, wrote to Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja to intervene into the matter.<\/p>\n

During a visit to the 82-acre piece of land, the minister also ordered all developers to stop activity on the land for three months until the wrangles are resolved.<\/p>\n

The land in question had been allotted to an investor, Opec Prime Properties in 2007 to construct a satellite city but was repossessed by government in 2018, after the developer failed.<\/p>\n

Of the 82 acres, part of the land was allocated to Internal Medicine of Virginia PC, which received 15 acres, and Uganda Heart Institute (10 acres) through a presidential order.<\/p>\n

The remaining 50 acres have seen different investors embroiled in conflict, with some accusing the Uganda Land Commission of issuing multiple titles for the same plots.<\/p>\n

Government retakes Naguru-Nakawa land<\/p>\n

In a November 2021 letter to the President, Mr Mayanja listed 18 companies that had reportedly been selected to share the 50 acres.<\/p>\n

The State House, however, told Daily Monitor last week that the President had not given a go-ahead for the giveaway of the land.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the former occupants, who were evicted in 2007, have also threatened to return to the land, citing lack of compensation.<\/p>\n
