MENGO - Buganda government has warned on the
rampant buying of land in central region, saying it may leave natives
homeless. The Katikkiro, Joseph Ssemwogerere (eight), said on Thursday
non-Baganda who buy chunks of land in Buganda region with a motive of
eliminating natives should be careful since it might create land
disputes in future.
“We welcome
every tribe here, but those who buy masses of land aiming at blocking
Buganda’s future may cause disputes in future,” he said.
He was
addressing members of Kiboga Development Foundation (KDF) at his office
in Mengo.
He said
some foreign tribes (non-Baganda) buy land to fail the kingdom’s
development in future and ensure that the kingdom’s natives are left
with out land.
He said a
bigger part of Kiboga and other districts had been sold to non -Baganda,
which will affect the environment and the kingdom’s plans.
Ssemwogerere also blamed the Government for excluding Kampala
district from the kingdom, unlike other kingdoms.
“Else
where, big towns are part of the kingdom unlike here. Why?” he asked. He
asked the Government to return Masaza (counties) headquarters and their
land titles to the kingdom for ease of co-ordination of development
programmes in Kabaka’s government.
“Most
districts are still retaining our buildings and land, I ask the
Government to return them,” he added. The delegation donated Shs 100,000
to the kingdom’s education fund and pledged more support to the Kingdom.
The foundation coordinator is Dominick Nanyini who said, “We shall
always be there when you need us.”
The
function was attended by many Baganda who pledged support to the Buganda
kingdom and Kabaka Mutebi. |
