Over 500 people face eviction.

Over 500 people at kikubampanga in Kikiri town council in Wakiso district are likely to be evicted from their land and they are living in fear.

This follows a letter they received from Kamugisha and co. Advocates written on 11/sept/2016 giving them an ultimatum of only 7 days to leave their land.

According to the letter the advocates represents Francis Bukenya Lubega and Mary Teopirista Namusisi Mubiru who are said to be the landlords of the land they are occupying right now.

In a meeting held at Kikubampanga town on Sunday the mayor of Kakiri town council Muhamad Kisekka told the residents that it's not so good to give an ultimatum to the people occupying the land of which some of them have got land tittles adding that its only court with authority to counsel out the tittles.

Kisekka appealed to the registrar of tittles to intervene in the matter so that residents are saved from being intimidated and living in fear because most of  them have even stopped working thinking that they are going to be evicted any time.

The mayor further advised the residents to work together as a team and they should register so that they come up with the exact number of people under this big threat.

The LC1 chairman of Kikubampanga Gerald Lule said that he knows Emmanuel Kityo and Teopirista Namusisi as their lords but not Lubega.

He also added that the big problem is that when they invite Kityo and his counterpart Namusisi in a meeting they do not appear but insisted that residents will not leave their land until the right people meet them.

Lawrence Kiwanuka one of the residents of Kikubampanga said that the land was a full mile first owned by the late Yuniya Komuhanda and later Mary Nabisaalu took over. Unfortunately she also died but when she died no one was left in place as the official controller of this land which is 44 acres.

"It's at this late time that we are getting different people coming to us though their lawyers that they are the owners of the land,"said Kiwanuka.

When contacted on phone Emmanuel Kityo said that he is not part of those who want to evict the residents.

Kityo further said that he bought 22 acres of land from Teopirista Namusisi and that Francis Bukenya is well aware of this.

"I'm not evicting people from my land at Kikubampanga because I agreed with them very well because some people managed to buy their land and others had part of their land chopped leaving them with some few acres but the only problem is, I have not given them their tittles,"Kityo explained.
