Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The president of the Institution of Surveyors of Uganda has linked the continuous existence of quack surveyors to the delayed law reforms.<\/p>\n

Leader of the institution, Alozius Gonza said the current Surveyors Act of 1934 is old-fashioned and does not address issues that are affecting surveyors, including digital transformation gaps, which has led to the rise of fake surveyors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese laws are currently outdated yet very many things have changed. Someone can now do a survey using a phone to pick accurate coordinates while others are using drones which are not catered for in the law for us to be able to incorporate them in our data set,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey need a backing law in terms of quality of the data, information that you are picking which kind of people are able to do such work…\u201d he explained to Monitor<\/b> at the side-lines of the memorial lecture of the late Kaija Katuramu at Sheraton Hotel in Kampala on June 30.<\/p>\n

According to Gonza, they are in discussions with government to amend the Survey Act of 1934- and formulate the Valuation Bill which will solve the existing problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the Valuation Bill which will define who a valuer is because in Uganda we don\u2019t have a law governing valuation and who should do that. We are seeing people attaching a big amount on cheap properties which will be addressed by the valuation Bill,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe speed at which these law reforms are being done is not favouring us but we are working hand in hand with the government such that the ministry of land can realise the dangers we are having and ensure that these challenges are addressed,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n

Gonza\u2019s remarks come at a time when surveyors are pinned on continuous land wrangles in the country.<\/p>\n

\u2018Emulate Katuramu\u2019 <\/b><\/p>\n

The late Katuramu was the founder and first president of the Institution of Surveyors of Uganda. On Friday, he was described as the most authentic, truthful and professional surveyor this country ever produced.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the function, lands state minister Sam Mayanja called upon the surveyors to emulate Katuramu\u2019s work and clean the dying image of surveyors in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany surveyors do not put integrity in their work. What do you benefit by pushing your integrity inside the carpet? You will never lose by sticking to professionalism, honesty and ethics,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

Government, he said, will continue supporting the surveyors in the country until they all work in a professional manner.<\/p>\n

Monica Katuramu described his slain husband as a selfless man who loved his job with his entire life.<\/p>\n
