Commission: Someone needs to be punished for what has happened
Ms Kasimbazi: (Quiet)

[LandInquiry UG @LandInquiry2017]

Ms Kasimbazi: There is a breakdown in the Government when wrong people respond to letters sent to a Government department
Ms Kasimbazi acknowledges that she received a response on Valuation and a Search Report from people not mandated to do so.

[LandInquiry UG @LandInquiry2017]

Ms Kasimbazi argues that Uganda's problem of corruption is spiritual and that Uganda needs God. She also holds the position that Uganda has too many land tenures and that these stand in the way of development

[LandInquiry UG @LandInquiry2017]

Ms Kasimbazi: I feel sad that Ugandans are standing in the way of the set up of Free Zones...

[LandInquiry UG @LandInquiry2017]

The title to the purchased land has subsequently been cancelled by the Comm Land Registration. The Attorney General has asked for the funds to be recovered from the payees.

Hearing under way as inquiry into the Buwaya land continues. Ms Betty Kasimbazi, Under-Secretary, MOFPED is on the stand.

Also payment out to the "winning bidder" was made in the face of explicit instruction by the PS/ST not to pay out until legal ownership of the land was resolved.
