THE Anti Corruption Unit State House Uganda working with Uganda poliice and the office of the DPP Tuesday 24, September arraigned Mwesige Geofrey Kiiza, a.k.a Pastor Jeff, before the Kira Chief Magistrates’ Court in Wakiso District on charges of Attempting to Evict a Bonafide Occupant without an eviction order.
The suspect in the process, destroyed growing plants, and stole other items culminating into theft.
He has been remanded until 03/10/2024.
Court heard that in August 2024, the accused, along with others still at large, attempted to illegally evict the family of the late Abiyasaali Kasozi, the rightful occupants of their ancestral land in Kireka without an eviction order.
They allegedly cut down eucalyptus trees that the family had nurtured on the land for over 40 years.
Despite clear orders from the Resident District Commissioner (RDC) to halt the eviction, the Pastor, acting with impunity, continued to cut down the trees and which he sold.
His actions directly violate H. E the President’s directives to landlords regarding the rights of Bibanja holders.
