Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>At least 2,500 residents from two villages in Kyalulangira Sub-county, Rakai District, can breathe a sigh of relief after the deputy resident district commissioner, Mr Faisal Sseruwagi, halted their impending eviction.<\/p>\n

The affected residents are in the villages of Kamoma A and B on the shores of Lake Kijjanebarola.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Sseruwagi, the purported landlord, only identified as Aisha, should first compensate the sitting tenants before setting up a beach and other recreational facilities on the disputed one square mile piece of land.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purported landlord has been advised to share with us bring her plan for compensating the sitting tenants, which she has not done. So, we are still waiting to see that happen,\u201d he said.

Last month, the residents were shocked when they woke up one morning and found construction materials poured on part of the land they are occupying. A week later, a group of armed men in plain clothes visited the area and ordered residents to vacate the land, insisting that they were illegal settlers.<\/p>\n

Mr Alex Kamushana, the chairperson Kyalulangira of Sub-county, said when Aisha\u2019s agents first visited the area, they faced stiff resistance from residents and have never returned.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore pursuing legal action, we are closely engaging the district land board and the Masaka zonal land office to verify the authenticity of the alleged title,\u201d he added<\/p>\n

On February 28, President Museveni issued a directive, prohibiting any eviction even if it is sanctioned by court without the \u201cconsent and directive observation of the district security committee chaired by the resident district commissioner and direct consultation with the Minister of Lands\u201d.<\/p>\n
