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. |
