If you are watching news this evening, you will realize that government is slowly relocating everyone especially here n Kampala. Whatever happened in Lusanja-Kawempe is injustice of the highest. Land grabbing is a vice! #Interface2018
We take the opportunity to congratulate Mbarara University of Science and technology for winning the Uganda Inter University Debate interface. Big win it is!

Most land ownership in Uganda is guaranteed in the lordship of customary interest, government has no option than to employ eminent domain to acquire private rights in land without complete accepted agreement from the owners for societal benefit. #Interface2018
As the adage goes, in Uganda what is recommendable is not reasonable , what is reasonable is not logical, what is logical is not actionable, and whatever is actionable will always be opposed since it makes the Gov't in power unpopular. #Interface2018 @CCGEAC #KampalaUniversity
Gov't has to make a prompt pay't of a fair & adequate compensation to the affected person before acquisition & taking possession of the affected land mindful of the fact that compensation shld be based on the actual mkt value of that land at the time of acquisition #Interface2018
Government maintains that the proposed amendments were premised on the bureaucratic tendencies involved in compensation of the project-affected persons, which tend to stall projects. #Interface2018
The act to condone misgovernance, impunity + institutional collapse by arguing that they're needed for dev't is regrettable. #interface2018
These exercise varying responsibilities over land use and management, with many conflicting and others overlapping, all of which follow no clear policy or guideline. #interface2018
The big challenge is that Uganda does not have a land compensation policy. Policies that relate to land compensation are scattered in various instruments and papers, in Government institutions and departments,... #interface2018
solution to the land
From the debate all panelists have agreed that there is an institutional collapse in Uganda. The only lasting solution would be to change who runs the institutions (the old man with a hat)

Compulsory acquisition is an integrated plan which is also a well-calculated maneuver that will fuel land grabbing and evictions in the country. Most of which are not adequately compensated. #interface2018
Compulsory acquisition of land in Uganda has undermined the principles of good governance. The failure to strictly adhere to the rules and procedures of the available legislative tool, and also inadequate payment of compensation has become obvious and apparent. #interface2018
The law further provides for exceptions under which a person can compulsorily be deprived of his or her property specifically land and these include public safety, public order, morality and for health reasons. #interface2018
Uganda has sufficient pieces of legislation to deal with compulsory land acquisition and there is no need for further amendment to the Land Act. #interface2018
@ucu panelist is so calm. Debating is not about talking with energy. #Interface2018 by @CCGEAC live @UrbanTVUganda @mubarakUG
and the Government or Local Government shall take possession of the property pending determination by the Court of any dispute relating to compensation.
