Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has committed to pay Shs360billion to businessman Bosco Muwonge for his 10-acre land in Kisenyi that has for long been contested and sucked up the said owner and traders on the said land.<\/b><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, parliament Speaker Anita Among asked KCCA to initiate the process of paying about Shs36.1billion for each acre of the land even as Muwonge maintained demands for Shs370billion.<\/p>\n

Among\u2019s intervention came after the Federation of Kampala Hawkers and Vendors Association last month petitioned her office as the businessman moved to push them off his land.<\/p>\n

“I believe that that it will be prudent for you [KCCA] to budget for us to see how to sort out the issue of the vendors and the hawkers,\u201d Among said during a meeting involving Muwonge and the KCCA team led by Minister for Kampala Minsa Kabanda at Parliament.<\/p>\n

The land in question is where KCCA relocated street hawkers and vendors evicted in Kampala in a bid to decongest the city.<\/p>\n

However, friction erupted between traders on the said land and Muwonge with the businessman accusing government of failing to pay for space to accommodate the vendors.<\/p>\n

Muwonge initially demanded about Shs37.6billion for each acre of the land but government rejected his wish reasoning that the amount was high.<\/p>\n

Now, minister Kabanda says Shs66.1billion will be paid to Muwonge for each acre, per the chief government valuer.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe agreed that it will be paid back in instalments,\u201d she emphasized regarding the payment which President Museveni has reportedly cleared conditionally.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuseveni came up with an executive order that the land is prime and we should buy it in a phased manner,” Kabanda added.<\/p>\n

By the end of Tuesday\u2019s meeting, Muwonge had agreed to take the amount offered by government for his land, prompting Among to direct Kabanda to write a payment commitment letter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to assure you that we are going to work on that and that before the end of this year, I am going to talk to the Executive Director [about it],\u201d Kabanda responded.<\/p>\n

Still on Tuesday, Muwonges pledged to halt eviction of traders.<\/p>\n

“I feel good that I have been promised that they are going to commit in writing to assure me that they will buy the land and also allow the process to fall through smoothly,” Muwonge noted.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThose traders are my people. We are going to be together because they are my people.”<\/p>\n

In the process of settling the payment, government is expected to plan and include the money in next year\u2019s financial budget 2024\/25 of the KCCA, something parliament will approve.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Parliament, our role is very simple. We will give what is requested. We don’t initiate any money to be given out. We will wait for KCCA to initiate a requisition that you will need this amount of money and we will give that [within the budget],\u201d Ms Among said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Wrong decision\u2019 <\/b><\/p>\n

Kampala Mayor Erias Lukwago frowned at the deal calling it a \u201cwrong decision for government to lose billions of money that would be invested in other critical areas in Kampala.\u201d<\/p>\n

“That is a raw deal we are getting from Muwonge. We cannot proceed with it. It is questionable and stinks. It should not go ahead,” Lukwago said in an interview.<\/p>\n

He added: “That transaction is rooted in fraud. Actually the amount involved [for each acre] was so shocking.\u201d<\/p>\n
