KAMPALA-UGANDA/NEWSDAY: State Minister for Lands, Sam Mayanja has been grilled about the Nakawa-Naguru by an ad-hoc committee Land Inquiry.
But Mayanja’s boss Minister Judith Nabakooba refused to appear before the Nakawa-Naguru Land Committee which convened on Thursday at Parliament.
Nabakooba cited Court proceedings ongoing as reason for her abscondment.
Sam Mayanja blamed Uganda Land Commission for always following the former Ministers for Lands who used to give them orders to issue land titles to the beneficiaries of Nakawa-Naguru Land.
“I am totally shocked why Uganda Land Commission was just issuing Land titles, because this is a body which is independent, they are appointed by the President not Minister for lands,” Mayanja said.
However, Bugiri Municipality Member of Parliament Asuman Basalirwa said that Sam Mayanja is doing a disservice to the Ministry.
“Mr Minister you are becoming academically unnecessary, don’t cause problems to the President,” Basalirwa said.
