REMOVAL OF ILLEGAL ENCROACHMENT ON URC LAND.
Greetings, Uganda.
We have all seen a locomotive slowing down for cows to move. We have all see the massive encroachment along all corridors of the URC reserve land, and so much more.
On 12 October 2026, we are commencing a nationwide removal of all illegal encroachment on URC land.
1. Kampala-Ndeeba-Natete-Kyengera-Bujuuko up to Kasese
2. Kampala-Kireka-Namboole-Namanve-Mukono-Jinja-Malaba
3. Tororo-Gulu-Pakwach
5. Masindi
6. Arua
7. Busoga line
Every illegal structure in URC land is slated for demolition.
Owners of titles on URC land will be removed as well, structures demolished and titles cancelled (working with Ministry of Lands).
The operations are aimed at providing space for planned works, create space for expansion, create space for greening of the reserve for improved image of the corridor, etc.
Please note;
1. URC land along the line is 100ft on either side.
2. At level crossings, it is 70 metres.
3. Reserve land at stations is bigger.
All residents along these sections should vacate.
Anyone who resists, we have been guided to arrest and prosecute them.
Those who have structures that are partly in URC land, we shall demolish those sections too.
To all walkers using the railway corridor, we shall also commence arrests. The practice should stop because it puts the walker in danger, displaces the ballast which in turn weakens the lines.
Why would the UCC arrest young men and women trying to make a living by operating small WiFi businesses? First, they buy data from providers who pay taxes, and they sell Internet to people who can't afford the expensive data bundles offered by telecoms. How is this helping digital integration? Do you have clear regulations for this mushrooming business? @UCC_Official
Uganda Cranes 🇺🇬 forward Denis Omedi went viral for scoring one of the greatest goals in football history.
Many football fans around the world believed it deserved the Puskas Award, but it didn't win it.
What a Goal !!!
