Buganda Kingdom has drafted a land policy to guide the Kabaka’s subjects on land matters, reports The draft will be discussed by the Buganda cabinet next week before it is presented to the lukiiko (parliament).
The acting katikkiro, Emmanuel Ssendaula, last week said the policy would provide for a land fund, which will loan money at low interest rates.
He expressed concern that many Baganda were selling their land at give-away prices yet they could be assisted through the low interest loans.
“If one insists on selling land, let them sell to us,†Ssendaula stressed.
