Kiryandongo District Woman MP, Hon. Katusiime Jovia Mbabazi, has vowed to leave no stone unturned in the fight against land grabbers in Kiryandongo District.
Yesterday, she met and interacted with LC1s and leaders of Kicwabugingo Sub-County, Kiryandongo District, to listen to their concerns and find lasting solutions to the persistent land problems in the area.
During the meeting, Hon. Katusiime discovered that their biggest issue is LAND — land grabbing, forced evictions, and lack of land titles.
The leaders narrated painful experiences of families living in fear of losing their ancestral land, others being evicted without due process, and many more who have occupied land for years but have no titles to prove ownership.
Hon. Katusiime assured the leaders that their voices have been heard and that she will not sit back while her people suffer in silence.
“I have heard you. That is why SOON we are going to have a LAND BARAZA in Kiryandongo District, where our people, LC1s, and leaders will meet directly with the Minister of Lands to resolve these land issues openly. No one should lose their land in silence. Get ready, Kiryandongo District. As your Woman MP and PLU Bunyoro Sub-Region Coordinator, I will keep standing with you,” Hon. Katusiime Jovia Mbabazi said.
She explained that the Land Baraza will provide a platform for residents to present their land grievances directly to the Ministry of Lands, with the aim of finding open, fair and lasting solutions.
Hon. Katusiime reaffirmed her commitment to continue standing with the people of Kiryandongo in the fight for land justice, security and dignity.
