The Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga has assured residents of Kibaale District that the government is going to buy off land from the absentee landlords and give it back to the people of Bunyoro.
She has argued that many of the land owners in Bunyoro don’t live there and others have never even visited the land they have purchased yet they possess titles making people of Bunyoro squatters on their land.
She was speaking during a thanksgiving ceremony for the woman MP of Kibaale district Noeline Basemera.
She however said the matter will be resolved once the land fund comes into place adding that they have had discussions with the Finance Minister to see how the land fund can be got so as to buy off the land and return it to the people of Bunyoro as well as ensuring the people get security of tenure.
