The State House Anti-Corruption Unit has arrested two men for allegedly grabbing President Yoweri Museveni’s land in Katwekambwa, Kabulasoke sub county in Gomba district.

According to the Unit’s head Lt Col Edith Nakalema, they received a complaint that President Museveni’s private land had been encroached on by a one Ssegane Peter and Suuna Jimmy.

According to Lt Col Nakalema, the suspects forged five land titles out of it.

“The two fraudulently acquired 5 land titles on land already registered in the name of Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. We identified a number of lapses in the processing of the titles at the levels of the Area Land Committee, District Land Board and Ministry of Lands,” Nakalema said.

“The file in respect to the two suspects has been forwarded to the DPP. Investigations are ongoing and all those found culpable will be prosecuted,” she added.

In 2018, the Commission of inquiry into land matters has established that President Museveni’s land at Kisozi Ranch in Maddu sub-county, Ggomba district was grabbed. The Kisozi ranch manager Florence Kamatenesi said the land grabbers got a title deed for 300 acres in 2016 on the land at Katwe Kambwa hill in Ggomba district.
