KAMPALA-UGANDA/NEWSDAY: Having sought help from different government offices to no avail, she reported to SH-ACU a month ago and after a period of six years, a 60 year old Nakabugo Robinah finds justice.
Having sought help from different government offices to no avail, she reported to the State House Anti Corruption Unit (SH-ACU) a month ago, but barely 30 days later, she has been paid her balance of sh. 4.5m from a land transaction that went bad in 2015. She was was aged 54 when all this started.
Nakaweesa Florence the daughter to Nakabugo informed the unit that her mother sold 10 acres of land on Block 127, plot 79 in Bugerere-Nazigo, Kayunga district to Ssali Badiru at sh.12 million. She was given a down payment of sh. 7.5 million and they agreed to handover the land title to him on completion of the balance.
Unfortunately, before Badiru had completed his debt obligation, he sold off 2 acres of the land to Bakayimbudde Waswa and other two ladies who forcefully obtained the land title from Nakabugo, inclusive of her National ID.
By the help of a city lawyer called Kabugo Suleiman, the three forged a land transfer form with Nakabugo’s fabricated signature extracted from her National ID, and transferred the subject land to one of the lady’s name and another third party. This land was further subdivided into plots alleged for future sale.
All this happening but Nakabugo’s balance not paid.
The old lady sought help from Nazigo police station, but she was given no attention. Instead, the police officers to whom Nakabugo had reported connived with the land grabbers to evict the squatters from the land. It is alleged that this land was further mortgaged for a loan in a commercial bank.
On receipt of this complaint, State House Anti-Corruption Unit expedited the coordination to arrest the suspects. These appealed for an amicable resolution that yielded the payment of Nakabugo’s due balance of sh. 4.5 million on Wednesday last week.
