DAILY LAW 2024 WRAP-UP: DAY 2
We had a community sensitization and dialogue in Mayuge district at Imanyiro sub-county headquarters. The community members were sensitized about the Systematic Land Adjudication and Certification (SLAC) program where 5,000 freehold land titles in villages and 3,000 tittles to peri-urban areas are to be given out.
The participants were informed that each person will pay a fee of 85,000/= to obtain freehold land titles supported by government through @ministry_lands. Community members also received legal assistance on land issues through our mobile legal aid clinics.
Still in Imanyiro sub-county, we interviewed household members on the issues of sugar cane growing in the region and women struggles in achieving their land rights.
At R-FM this evening, we have shared issues that came up during community awareness events and possible solutions that the land experts provided to the community members.
