But the Attorney General who is the Chief Government legal advisor drew my attention to Justice Owiny Dollo\u2019s judgement concerning this land, telling me that the orders I issued are in contempt of court and I can be charged in the courts of law,\u201d Lukka said.Lukka further revealed to the gathering that his investigations established that Nanziza Construction Company Uganda Limited which entered into a memorandum of understanding with Makerere university, the landlord of Katanga land to develop the said piece of land is fake assuring tenants on the land that no one is going to evict them.His first proposal is the government to buy off the tenants according to their pieces of land and after return it to Makerere university when is vacant or use it for other public benefits.He further proposed that the government can use taxpayers\u2019 money to develop the area by building modern houses to the bonafide tannate after buying off the landlord noting that his proposal is not a one year or two years plan insisting that tenants have to be clever in protecting their pieces of land.\u201cI have been a leader in this area for years seeing people voluntarily selling their bibanja to pastor Walugembe and currently owns 28 acres of land but Makerere university land titles read 37 acres. So, it is misleading to hear people saying that Walugembe owns the entire Katanga land,\u201d Bagonza said.The controversy stemmed in a March 23, 2026 letter to the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Makerere university, by Lukka directed the institution to hand over Katanga land to Nanziza Construction Company.\u201dThis is to inform you that you do not have any authority whatsoever to vary or overturn the said court order and we as local leaders of the area shall not allow you to continue breaking the law, disrespecting court orders and disturbing the peaceful occupation of our residents,\u201d reads the letter asking the RCC to recall his letter of face contempt of court proceedings.<br \/>\nAccording to documents from Uganda Registration Service Bureau (URSB), the company has a share capital of Shs1m and has two shareholders Denis Jjuko and Henry Kamyuka with each having 500 shares without any annual returns despite being incorporated in 2011.<br \/>\nThe area local leaders challenged the RCC\u2019s orders in a letter to him noting that what he was doing was contemptuous trying to overturn a court judgement from a competent judge.<br \/>\nIn the meeting, it was resolved that the RCC organize another meeting so as residents engage with Pastor Walugembe to understand the boundaries of his land insisting that he has all the documents concerning how he has been buying his bibanja.<br \/>\nThomas Bagonza, a local leader, appreciated Lukka\u2019s leadership style of accepting the mistake and clarifying to the public because people with selfish interests were using his orders on arresting Pastor Walugembe to mislead those who sold their bibanja to him and start reclaiming it.<br \/>\nAnother proposal is entering a Public-Private partnership were by government can get a developer and use his money to turn Katanga a modal village by building modern houses after entering an agreement with bonafide tenants and be given condominium titles on the agreed space and the remaining one sold so as the developer can recover the money invested in the deal.<br \/>\nHe advises the tenants to stay on their respective pieces of land and avoid making provocative statements against each other revealing that he has written a proposal to President Museveni on how the government can solve the ongoing dispute between the landlords and tenants.<br \/>\nHe added that being a government official and, in any case, dragged to court, the Attorney General is the one to defend him so he has to respect his advice and withdraw the orders he issued to save the government\u2019s money.<br \/>\nOn Saturday, Lukka summoned a meeting at Katanga playground attended by Busia and Kimwanyi zone local leadership and residents to announce his new stand on resolving the ongoing dispute on the said land.<\/p>\n<p>\tRelated<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n\t\t\t&#13;<\/p>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hoimapost.co.ug\/drcc-lukka-kagenyi-reverses-decision-on-katanga-land-after-legal-advice-from-attorney-general\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13;
