The Buhweju District Land Board is urging all sub-county leaders to protect district land that is reportedly being encroached upon by residents.
Land board chairperson, Ephraim Begira, on March 17, 2025, said this can be achieved by obtaining land titles that clearly establish ownership of the land by the district, thereby safeguarding it against land grabbers.
He explains that while the district receives government projects, it struggles to find suitable locations for these initiatives since much of the Government land in the area has been encroached upon.
Begira also points out that this land can be leased for a specified duration, and upon expiration of the lease, the agreement can be renewed. This approach, he says, could benefit both the district and its residents.
