Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni yesterday handed over customary land titles to eight people in Apac District as he kicked off the government project aimed at issuing titles to 275,000 families and 630 clans in the greater northern region.<\/p>\n

\u201cI congratulate the people of the Ministry of Lands for getting out of sleep and solving this problem. I am sure you know who owns what everywhere so why not capture it in a document and do what we have done here,\u201d President Museveni said.<\/p>\n

The project is funded by the European Union.<\/p>\n

Mr Museveni, however, warned the beneficiaries against land fragmentation.<\/p>\n

\u201cLand fragmentation is very dangerous for the country. If you have six acres and [you die] and leave behind six sons, if each takes one [acre], the land disappears. In future, these children will have nowhere to cultivate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The President added that when the land is too small, it can\u2019t give sustainable value to the owner.<\/p>\n

He attributed the economic challenges and poverty in West Nile to land fragmentation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe average land holding in Maracha [District] is two acres. One acre is for growing food for the family and the remaining one is reserved for income generation. If you do the math badly, your family will not get out of poverty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Museveni added that the district continues to grow tobacco, but the earnings from an acre can\u2019t go beyond Shs800,000 per annum, which makes it difficult for residents to get out of poverty.<\/p>\n

He advised them to turn to productive ventures such as coffee, fruits, poultry, and zero grazed cows.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose are the only things you can grow on a small piece of land and make money. With an acre of land, you can no longer grow tobacco, cotton, maize, sugarcane, and the traditional cows,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n

Ms Judith Nabakooba, the Minister of Lands, Housing, and Urban Development, said the government project solve land grabbing in the region.<\/p>\n

Ms Nabakooba said they would reach out to land owners in 35 districts to secure a customary land tenure system and prevent public outcry as a result of land grabbing.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, MPs from Lango asked President Museveni to fix the poor roads in the sub-region.<\/p>\n

Mr Museveni promised to engage Uganda National Roads Authority to work on them.<\/p>\n

What is influencing Uganda\u2019s land reforms?<\/p>\n

Land conflicts dominate problems in all regions<\/p>\n
