Uganda: Otafiire Cited in Muslim Land SaleEmail This Page Print This Page The Monitor (Kampala) August 17, 2006Posted to the web August 16, 2006 Al-Mahdi Ssenkabirwa Ashah NtabaddeKampala THE committee set up to probe the illicit sale and lease of property belonging to the Muslim community yesterday heard that two top government officials played a key role in worsening a land row that is threatens to split Muslims. A member of the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) Executive Committee, Sheikh Hassan Ibrahim Kiirya, told the commission that the former Minister of Lands, Maj. Gen. Kahinda Otafiire, and the Deputy Presidential Assistant on Political Affairs, Hajjat Anuna Omari were involved in grabbing Muslim land. "We can't rule out a fact that the government is involved in grabbing Muslim land. Otafiire and Anuna are people I can't leave out," Kiirya said. The Counsel to the Commission, Mr Bashir Kalenge, insisted that Kiirya explains what he meant with 'government involvement in the Muslim land wrangles.' Kiirya said he had seen a document where Otafiire directed some officials in the Ministry of Lands to lift a caveat they had placed on some plots belonging to UMSC. "When we lodged a caveat on Plots 30,102/104 on William Street and Plots 12 to16 on Port Bell Road, it was lifted after some months because Bassajjabalaba [Hassan] had connived with some Ministry of Lands officials," Kiirya said. Bassajjabalaba is the Vice Chairman of UMSC. He said he would produce the document. He said lifting the caveat gave Bassajjabalaba a chance to sell Plot 30 on William Street Kampala to another businessman, Ssalongo Drake Lubega at $1.8million (about Shs3.3billion). The plots under dispute include Plots 30,102,104 on William Street in Kampala, plots 12-16 on Port bell Road Luzira and part of UMSC Headquarters, which were subleased to HAKS Express Ltd, a company owned by Basajjabalaba.Relevant LinksEast Africa Legal and Judicial Affairs Food, Agriculture and Rural Issues Uganda Religion The land, according to a memorandum of understanding signed on 18 March 2005, was subleased to HAKS 'for 30 years with effect from April 1, 2005' , Plot 12-16 in Luzira was also subleased for 43 years to HAKS under the same memorandum. Kiirya said there was also a 'shadow mafia clique' within the UMSC leadership scheming to grab Muslim property.
