Angry President Yoweri Museveni ordered for the immediate arrest of a one Patrick Ainebyona a notorious landgrabber who has been terrorizing the residents of Kiboga and had recently evicted Mzee Badru Mwanje and his bibanja tenants on a a 640 acres of land located in Lwankonge village in Kiboga district..
Ainebyona had forcefully evicted Mzee Mwanje while claiming the land he was grabbing belonged to a group of departed Asians T/A Chikamchadi Shaar Ltd who became the registered freehold owners as early as 1932. The Asians returned and repossessed the same land in 1992 following their 1972 expulsion by Idi Amin. Then as of 1989, the same land got into the names of Peresika Nakayenga from whom Mzee Mwanje obtained a clean title in 1999 and became a registered owner too.
While there is a problem of double titling of the same land , President Museveni is not happy that the people on the land are illegally being evicted without any authority of the law .
The President after gathering enough evidence about the illegal evictions he worked with his trusted foot soldiers that included his Advisor on Police affairs Suzan Kasingye and Gen Henry Isoke of State House Anti-Corruption, and DPP Jane Frances Abodo to net Ainebyona.
Gen Museveni had to personally visit the land under dispute and in a community baraza meeting he ordered for the arrest Ainebyona and his gangsters after the wanaichi narrated he torture they had suffered .
A furious Gen Museveni asked to know where Ainebyona derived powers to evict innocent people and stressed that land grabbing and illegal evictions must stop anywhere in Uganda .
land grabbing is expected to be a big campaign issue during the coming general elections .
The area LC1 Chairman Ham Kizza thanked the President for taking off time to come and personally get involved in the resolution of matter and saving wanaichi from the terror landgrabbers had meted on them .
The baraza was also attended by Minister of Lands Judith Nabakooba , woman MP Ruth Nankabirwa Ssentamu who is also Energy minister and DPP Justice Abodo, and Kiboga East area MP Dr. Kefa Kiwanuka.
Ugandans are now anxious to see if Gen. Museveni will reign in on all land grabbers who are grabbing and evicting people illegally across the country .
