NEMA HAS NOT FAILED TO EVICT TYCOON IN LAKE VICTORIA
Our attention has been drawn to a Weekend Vision article alleging that @nemaug has failed to evict tycoon from Lake Nalubale. This is to clarify that the Environment Restoration Order that was issued to the said developer was appealed and the law requires that action can only be taken upon disposal of the appeal. The Appeal is going through the due process and the public will know the outcome soon. It’s therefore not true that NEMA has failed. It should be noted that the people being removed have gone through full due process for more than a year since they received Environment Restoration Orders.
