Everyone is denying and disagreeing with this sovereignty bill,who drafted it and how does a bill get to parliament without consulting /seeking views of key stakeholders like Ministry of finance and the Financial sector .

[SP Kinobe @SPKinobe2018]

Amidst the weight of grief and sorrow, one cannot help but be moved by the timeless beauty of Uganda. It stands as a testament to God’s handiwork, and I remain profoundly grateful for such a gift to the world

@Odrek_Rwabwogo Problem is that we keep hearing you talk about value addition all the time, that you're looking for markets all over the world but when those who want to play along that line are ignored when they approach offices responsible for this including your own Paceid @Odrek_Rwabwogo,tea

🚨🔥BOUGHT LAND “CLEAN”, DID EVERYTHING RIGHT, STILL LOST IT? THIS CHANGES THE GAME.

The Court of Appeal has reaffirmed an old principle, but with a new and uncomfortable edge. In Civil Appeal Nos. E682, E686 & E705 of 2024 (consolidated), the Court did not merely repeat that “fraud vitiates title”. It went further and clarified where the risk truly lies when the Lands Registry itself creates parallel titles. The dispute arose from prime land in Runda where multiple titles were issued at different times to different parties, all appearing valid on their face. Purchasers argued they conducted searches, paid full consideration, and relied on official records. The Court accepted those facts and still said: that is not enough. Where two titles exist, the court will not balance equities. It will trace history, chronology, and legality, then decisively protect only the title with a lawful root.

What is new and striking is the Court’s firm rejection of registry failure as a defence. The judges were explicit that administrative chaos, missing files, duplicate registers, or fraudulent entries at Ardhi House do not shift the burden to the original owner. Even an “innocent purchaser for value without notice” does not acquire immunity where the root title was unlawful. Article 40(6) of the Constitution was applied with teeth, not sympathy. The Court effectively said that courts will no longer launder defective titles through good faith purchases. If the first registration was corrupted, every subsequent transaction collapses, regardless of how convincing the paperwork looks.

For Kenyan land buyers, this is not business as usual. The practical shift is this: risk has moved decisively away from original proprietors and squarely onto buyers, banks, and professionals involved in conveyancing. A search, a title deed, and registry confirmation are no longer treated as conclusive comfort. Buyers must interrogate history, litigation, prior ownership, and registry conduct, especially in high-value areas. If the title falls, courts will not save it simply because money changed hands. Compensation may be pursued elsewhere, but ownership will not be protected. The message from the Court of Appeal is blunt and new in its intensity: land buying in Kenya is no longer a paperwork exercise, it is a risk assessment, and the buyer bears it.

Specialty tea refers to the highest tier of the tea market, defined by exceptional quality, distinct origin, and artisanal craftsmanship. Unlike commercial teas (mass-produced blends), specialty teas are valued for their unique "terroir"—the specific combination of soil, climate@

@kilimoKE @nyabuharajk @DrRonohpaul We hope our Ministry of Agriculture buys a leaf from you, Richard & his team have as well been in Uganda training tea farmers in Speciality teas production with support from Solidaridad, I haven't heard any government official mentioning anything in regard. Tea here is abandoned

[Solidaridad East and Central Africa @SolidaridadECA]

Solidaridad, with NARO & the International Tea & Coffee Academy, trained Ugandan tea makers in specialty tea production. Through #ReclaimSustainability, smallholders are gaining skills to add value, earn more, and drive transformation in Uganda’s tea sector. #SpecialtyTea

@NKatsigaire @933kfm @nyabuharajk @OMatsiko93034 Tea is the world's most consumed Beverages, Uganda's gov't invested heavily in the supply of free Seedlings to empower people in tea growing areas but again only lacks commitment in terms of regulation which has left the subsector in limbo.
Regulation is the answer
