Uganda must prioritize safe, sustainable waste management and enforce accountability.
The cost of inaction is too high.

The Constitutional Court Has Affirmed That A Tenant By Occupancy Retains Their Tenancy Status With Rights Subordinate To Those of A Registered Owner.
Brief facts
The petitioners brought this petition challenging the constitutionality of Section 35 (1) (a) of the Land Act, as amended in 2010.
This provision makes it an offense for a tenant by occupancy to assign their tenancy without giving the landowner the first option. Failure to do so results in the assignment being invalidated and the tenancy being forfeited to the registered owner.
The petitioners also sought a declaration that Section 35 (1) (a) of the Land Act, as amended in 2010, is inconsistent with and in contravention of various articles of the Constitution. They also sought an order invalidating the provision and reinstating the rights of tenants by occupancy.
Representation.
The petitioners were represented by Mr. Derrick Bazekuketta. On the other hand, the respondent, represented by the office of the Attorney General, was represented by Ms. Claire Kukunda, a Senior State Attorney.
Primary Issue.
1. Whether section 35 (1) (a) of the Land Act, as amended in 2O1O, is inconsistent with and/or in contravention of Article 21(1) and (2) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda.
Justice Irene Mulyagonja gave the lead judgment.
She contextualized the implications of section 35(1)(a) within the broader framework of the Land Act, highlighting its requirement for tenants by occupancy to offer their tenancy assignment to the landlord first, failing which the transaction becomes invalid.
This provision contrasts with section 34(1), which encompasses assignment, subletting, and subdivision, raising questions about why the landlord's consent is prioritized only in the assignment context.
Furthermore, Justice Mulyagonja distinguished between lawful and bona fide occupants under section 29 of the Land Act, noting that both categories derive their rights from the registered owner, unlike customary owners whose rights are separate.
Affirming that this distinction is crucial in understanding the legislative intent to protect historical rights disrupted by past legal reforms, such as the Land Reform Decree of 1975.
Overall, her opinion highlights the constitutional mandate to balance the rights of tenants by occupancy with those of registered landowners, ensuring fairness and legality in land transactions governed by the Land Act.
