Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>A section of residents living on the disputed 1,044-acre land in Wakiso District have appealed to President Museveni to intervene and prevent them from being harassed by a dealer.<\/b><\/p>\n

The residents in the three villages of Busamba, Kinyika-Gayaza, and Ngondwe-Kanziro accuse Ms Berna Nakato, who came on the land as a surveyor but later acquired 200 acres, of forcefully making roads through their gardens without their consent.<\/p>\n

A result, they said, she has destroyed their gardens of coffee, bananas, maize, mangoes, jackfruit and oranges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey came with sticks and forcefully started measuring and later came back with a tractor and asked me to go for compensation of Shs50,000 at their office. These people are moving illegally without any lawful enforcer,\u201d Mr Aaron Musisi, one of the affected residents, told on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Mr Cosmas Kizito, another affected resident, said his gardens were destroyed when the land dealer created three roads through it without compensation.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs Nakato promised to give me Shs2 million as compensation for my properties but to date I have never seen it. I am physically impaired and old. It is this coffee that has been taking care of my children\u2019s school fees. Now I am here stuck,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Multiple affected residents who spoke to this publication said the situation will turn violent if the concerned authorities do not intervene.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Museveni, come out and help us. We have chosen to go a peaceful way but this does not mean that we can\u2019t defend ourselves. If you can\u2019t help us, give us permission to defend ourselves,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n

When contacted at the weekend, Ms Nakato admitted creating the new roads through people\u2019s land but denied doing it forcefully. She said the affected residents fully consented and she fully compensated them.<\/p>\n

She instead branded the complainants as masqueraders who live in the other villages but not Ngondwe where the project is ongoing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am the owner of that land, what I am doing now is to negotiate with the Bibanja holders a win-win solution and we are sharing 50 percent equally and I process the titles for them,\u201d Ms Nakato said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the ministry of Lands you cannot process a title without having clear roads and that is what I am doing,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Ms Nakato was brought on the land last year by some grandchildren of the late Gabudyeri Lubajja as a surveyor and later gave her part of it. This led to the family battle where one faction led by Ms Josephine Mpamulungi and Ms Teddy Namusoke dragged to court their counterparts led by Mr Richard Semitala and Mr Eustarous Ssegantebuka whom they accuse of allegedly obtaining letters of administration .<\/p>\n

Mr Mathias Mulumba Segantebuka, who is from a faction that dragged Mr Semitala to court and has been fighting alongside locals, said whatever Ms Nakato is doing is a waste of time.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll she wants to allege is that she is a bona fide purchaser for value without notice but the people who have an equitable interest in the land that she illegally got are protesting how she got it without them being given an option of buying the reversionary interest of the said land,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
