Case flops
KAMPALA — Mayor John Ssebaana Kizito’s case against a businessman of stealing his island in Lake Victoria floped yesterday when the lands commissioner failed to show up in court. Ssebaana took businessman F.X Bitamazire to court, saying he trespassed on his Namalusu island near Gaba, erecting there a hotel. The lands commissioner had been summoned to clear the air on two land titles to the island, one issued to Ssebaana and another to Bitamazire.
